title: Performance wise, how fast are Bitwise Operators vs. Normal Modulus?
body: <p>Does using bitwise operations in normal flow or conditional statements like <code>for</code>, <code>if</code>, and so on increase overall performance and would it be better to use them where possible? For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(i++ &amp; 1) {
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>vs.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(i % 2) {
  
  }
  </code></pre>
