in thread Question about curious performance of if...elsif block

If you read the base note more carefully you're see that /proc/pid/status contains 36 entries on my system.

yes I am doing the comparisons before returning and I want to so I can measure the difference between executing them and returning immediately and the difference is 5 seconds, not the 3/4 second I would have expected.

understand now?
