Hello,

test done with :

a=3D"x"
if a=3D=3D"b" then 2
elsif a=3D=3D"c" then 1
elsif a=3D=3D"c" then 1
.... 50 elsif

a=3D"x"
case a
=A0when "g" then 1
=A0when "i" then 1
=A0when =A0"j" then 1
=A0when "k" then 1
=A0when "l" then 1
=A0when "b" then 1
.... 50 when

10 microsecondes with if,
231 nanosecondes with case

I use benchi, (from ruiby, see attachment), for this kind of test.
If you need performences, try mirah with a jvm ...
