hey  
im curious about one thing…  
Which is better or is there a difference ( speed and processor consumption wise ) between writing  
[AS]x=1;  
x=x+1+x\*x;

or

x=1;  
x=x+1;  
x=x+x\*x;  
[/AS] this is offcourse a simplified version and could be made much more complex…  
but things add up. after a while maybe there are 20 lines of code which could be made redundant by compacting the lines…

so question is … Does it make a difference? (besides maybe easier to read)
