Ternary: 76, if/else: 79. So it looks like there might not be a performance hit at all for using ternary syntax - Interesting - on a dual 2.5 g5, I averaged about these numbers compiling with mtasc: Ternary: 79 if/else: 76, But IF I changed the order of which for loops run first (run the if/else one before the ternary one) the results Swap!
