If anything should be learned form this, or similar, threads it is that however much we might think we know about how a piece of code will work at a low level and which will use the most processor cycles etc, we should write the code which is semantically correct and maintainable and, if it is needed, optimise after profilling. It would be interesting to see if the other version was written independatly from the commons version or as an attempt at optimisation and if the later, wether it needs to be optimised and whether the semantic differences were intentional.
