Anyone have a considered response to the following?

Given that in FoxPro an immediate IF, IIF(), is more efficient than an equivalent IF...ELSE, I had a question.

Would this strategy, in fact, actually be more efficient in conditionally calling a form method. For example, would

=iif( SomeCondition, SomeObject.Refresh(), .F. )

have some efficiency advantage (however trivial) over

if ( SomeCondition )
SomeObject.Refresh
endif

I fully appreciate that likely of greater concern are issues of code readability, maintainability, etc. than negligible speed improvements.
My question is really just for a point of knowledge. Thanks.
