I want to say that when you use one monolitic method to run a whole
algorithm, it runs faster than using separated methods, yes just because
branching. But, I'm wrong because, as you wrote, multiple options also caus=
e
branching.

Here, you must use several options when it make sense, as in the call to an
activerecor find method, like:

find(:all, :order =3D> 'name ASC', :conditions =3D> ['service_usage >=3D ?'=
, 50])
