I'd be interested to see if you get similar results to mine if you paste the following into a button:
on mouseUp
repeat 100000
put random(6) & cr after rList
end repeat
put the millisecs into st
repeat for each line L in rList
if L = 1 then
get 1
else if L = 2 then
get 2
else if L = 3 then
get 3
else if L = 4 then
get 4
else if L = 5 then
get 5
else if L = 6 then
get 6
end if
-- switch L
-- case 1
-- get 1
-- break
-- case 2
-- get 2
-- break
-- case 3
-- get 3
-- break
-- case 4
-- get 4
-- break
-- case 5
-- get 5
-- break
-- case 6
-- get 6
-- break
-- end switch
end repeat
put the millisecs - st
end mouseUp
When I do this, (Mac 1.5Mhz G4 laptop), the if-then-else version
takes 180-ish milliseconds, whereas the switch-case version takes 70-
ish ms.
Admittedly, this isn't the difference between unusably slow and
blisteringly fast, but it's always worth knowing your options....

I've come into this a little late, no internet for a week or so, but be aware that switch is slower than if-then-else-end if, no matter who many nested ifs are required to do 'the same' as a mult-case switch statement. It's only a couple of milliseconds over 1000 executions, but it is slower.
