In that case, is count($things) smaller, bigger, or enormously bigger

efficiency of said ugly answer depends on how many $things you have :)
The max ID will be substantially larger (5-6 digit number) than the
number nodes in the array (5-20).
My ugly answer would definitely be a bad idea in that case.
In that case, it sounds like your best bet is to make an else clause to
break out of your loop.
If you only have a handful of $positions and they don't change very
often, you might consider unrolling the whole process into an if /
elseif / else mess, as that would be faster than iterating over the array.
