switch和if的性能比较

      一直认为switch的效率高于if，特别对于条件大于3的时候，以前也貌似看过资料说：switch的查找类似二叉树，if的则是线性。

      最近做了一个简单的测试，对有多个条件式的switch和if做比较，发现两者的效率几乎相同，if的效率甚至高于switch；<测试环境sun jdk6.1.13>

     40个条件式的测试，测试1000 0000次，if耗时219ms， switch耗时234ms，平均都在4-5k/s；

     30个条件式的测试，测试1000 0000次，if耗时188 switch耗时172平均都在5-6kw/s，

     20个条件式，测试1000 0000次，if耗时109mswitch耗时125ms，平均在8-9kw/s

 

      总结：

      1 经过jdk的改进，目前switch和if的性能上差别微乎其微

      2 条件式的多少对于一般应用的整体性能来说，影响也非常小。

      3 影响效率的最大因子是条件式的数量，而非if或switch
