I am quering a variable stored in an autoload singleton, with if elif I must call global.var every time I use the variable. but if I use the match I only call the variable once … will that make the query slightly faster?

Is retrieving global variables that slow?

apparently there is no effect on speed

match and if get compiled as the same sets of instructions, none is particularly faster than the other. match is essentially a different way to express things in a more concise way. It certainly makes you write the variable only once, but it still has to compare its value for each case (i.e it’s not a jump table like in C).

oh ok, thanks ! very useful
