Why is CharInSet faster than Case statement?

Question

I\'m perplexed. At CodeRage today, Marco Cantu said that CharInSet was slow and I should try a Case statement instead. I did so in my parser and then checked with AQTime wha

Answer 1

The code in the function"CharInSet" is faster than 'case', the time is spent on 'call', use while not (cp^ in [..]) then

you will see this is the fasted.
