A few microseconds (the absolute number - not a percentage) really won't make a difference in very many scripts. I write for readability and maintainability. Sometimes chaining assignments (this may have a better name - Bash doesn't support this type: a=$b=$c) or multiple assignments separated by semicolons makes sense for organization, etc. But I almost always write one statement per line - command, assignment, etc. I even put then and do on their own lines (but that's just a style choice). -- Visit serverfault.com to get your system administration questions answered.
