I said in my original post, I "expect it to be quicker on large ranges, and no slower for small ones". I think this is worth investigating.

There is no reason to believe that it would be quicker.

Well, as I recall, it is quicker in Python, because the test and increment are done by native methods rather than using interpreted code.

So perhaps I'll write a little test. I'm confident that at least one of us will learn something from the outcome.
