[Javascript] Single vs. Double quotes in Javascript

[Mike Dougherty]

I did not test this code to confirm or deny the 15% faster claim

How does this test prove performance on access to single- vs.
double-quoted dhtml attributes?

(unless I missed the original point)

Well, it's not a *billion* times faster, but this little simple test 
case proves it to be at least 15% faster.

-------
var s='';
var iTime1 = new Date().valueOf();
for(var i=0;i<100000;i++){
	s+="a";
}
var iTime2 = new Date().valueOf();
alert('With double quote : ' + (iTime2 - iTime1));


s='';
iTime1 = new Date().valueOf();
for(var i=0;i<100000;i++){
	s+='a';
}
iTime2 = new Date().valueOf();
alert('With single quote : ' + (iTime2 - iTime1));
-------

So no, I wasn't talking about Perl, I was talking about JavaScript, 
where there IS a difference.
