!? Just repeat the commands couple thousand times with either case (file exist and file doesn't exist) and take the mean time for comparison. If the accuracy isn't enough to see the difference in benchmark, then why there would be difference in practice? > Besides, first option can fail if > you don't have write access to the file, thus needing a third access to > check for permission to delete. I agree that would change the question, but so far it seem to be unfounded assumption.
