JP is faster then JR when no conditions are involved. 

When conditions are involved, use JR when there is more of a chance
that the code will "fall through", else use JP

Trust me, I am sure TI has guys who can program better then us. 
I'm sure all of them have EE or Computer Science degrees. Do you?
