Is running events through qualifiers faster then regular?

[Outcast]

There have been one thing I have wondering for a time, is it faster to run events through a qualifier (less events) then through individual objects?

Let say for example you want to check collision of 100 instances of 5 different objects.
One method would be to have 5 events, one for each object.
Or to set the 5 objects to one single qualifier and use one event.

Is there any difference in the performance and speed of this?

It might be slightly faster to use a qualifer since MMF doesn't have to check each event before doing the calculation.

If you had 10,000 events; it'd have to check each statement for true/false first before doing any calculations at the end of the loop, compared to just only checking 1 boolean and then doing the calculation.The less events that need to be checked through each loop = the faster. It doesn't update until a full loop is finished(finished reading every event), Atleast that's what I think.

Yes, it is faster to use qualifiers : the selection routines are only called once (even if they work more) instead of 5 times with just objects.

Ok thanks! How much faster is it? Is it so much faster that it should be something you think about? (like with loops for example).
