I can't say that I've gone quite to the extent of timing loops to see how 
long it takes, but I have found that adding just one or two If/Then 
statements will slow down a program by more than you'd think.  Use as few of 
them as you can get away with if you need speed.

 Well it really depends... sometimes if i have two different ways of doing
 something, i put the instruction in a for loop that executes 100 times and 
time
 how long it takes each one.
