Here is a small quoted text from Andrea Giammarchi on "tweetter":
[quote] i++ returns a new Number with "i" value then increments the "i" reference, while ++i execute just the second step - that is why I prefer ++i [/quote] this should be the same with both pre-increment and pre-decrement and in my tests while loops are generally faster than for loops.
