Changing 100000 to -3 (means 3 seconds) and changin timethese to cmpthese gives:
Rate defined exists as is
defined 1961549/s -- -10% -12%
exists 2181802/s 11% -- -2%
as is 2236990/s 14% 3% --
Oddly enough, defined is slower. Then again, this isn't a very accurate test since the condition always evaluates to true. Also, any time loss is so minute compared losses from other inefficiencies that it doesn't matter. Deciding which of these to use based on efficiency is like trying to trying to what kind of gum to buy based on how long it takes to remove the packaging.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
