OOOH,  I like multiple choice questions.  Let's see, I have a 33.33%  
chance of guessing the correct one...

I would say that they switch and if/else are both the same.  The  
variable function call would be more elegant and probably use less  
code.  Overall, I would say that any difference in speed between  
these would be miniscule anyway.  What are you doing that would make  
it matter  how many more nanoseconds one control statement is over  
another?
