What is stopping you from testing this yourself?

Just because I've had the same question and tested this a bit myself, here's results from a test that I ran in 2018: From this, Switch was always the fastest, and if you can, you should set/keep OnEventMode off. Things depend though, and you may not be able to always use Switch, or the different logic needed to get a specific way working may introduce additional slowdowns Edit: Just to be clear, the OnEventMode stuff doesn't have any direct connection/impact with Select/Switch/If, it's just something else that I was testing at the same time. In general things are a bit slower with OnEventMode, not just Select/Switch/If

If you are afraid of Mod() you can use a simple counter: $Counter = 0 While True If $Counter = 10000 Then $Counter = 0 MyFunc() EndIf $Counter += 1 ; rest of the code WEnd

Did you try and did it work? 🙄

Not sure why you are at ll worried about cpu cycles when using an interpreter scripting language! As to the Mod() function, it is simple so I am sure you will be able how to code an if that will be true each 1000 cycles. Just kick your brain in gear at try it as that takes less time than tying your question here.

@CYCho I'm confused. Did you mean Chromedriver?
