I haven't timed it - but if it's read by the engine in the same manner other 
programming languages handle it then it would be faster as any subsequent 
conditions are skipped because once the case statement (switch statement) is 
met the compiler knows not to proceed - as opposed to if/then/else etc where 
the entire handler is evaluated in full.
