>Good idea Mike. To add to your observation, I think that I will write all my code on one line so it will execute faster. Readability is not important when you want speed! :)
LOL! That's funny. I guess if it's someone's personal preference, it's OK?
If there is a physical, practical benefit to doing something it should outweigh personal preferences. Since there's no way a single line will execute faster, because the compiler will undo the semi-coloned lines entered by humans for humans - I don't think I'd do that. ;)
