While loop quickest method

Question

Which is more quickly evaluated? I'm using java syntax, but any programming language would apply to the question.

while (1==1) {

}

while (true) {

}

I tried testing this with a large loop. The results varied far too much to give me a solid answer.

Answer 1

What you are trying to do is a "micro optimisation". It's not worth it. Any decent compiler will produce identical code, since 1 == 1 is obviously the same as true. Even if it was different code, that little bit of change will not make any measurable difference.
