title: Java: Performance of Enums vs. if-then-else
body: <p>I've had no real luck getting a concise answer for this comparison by using Google and rather than do my own time consuming evaluations, I thought I would ask first.</p>
  
  <p>I'm fairly sure that a switch statement using Enums would perform faster than an if-then-else statement, though whether or not it is a noticable difference is another question.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone shed some light on this for me?</p>

  <p>Thanks for the quick responses guys, I will keep this in mind for future projects.</p>
