Every time you use this function:
- Do Nothing
You call this JASS function:
function DoNothing takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction
Which takes up valuable processing time.
By choosing not to use call DoNothing(), you win 12.3% speed increase!
call DoNothing()+return executed 2162 times per milisecond.
//null+return executed 26668 times per milisecond.
The real benefit of not using call DoNothing() is 0.00046 ms per call.

Hi, First of all I'm sorry for 10 year old thread bump, But may I ask how did you managed to calculate those results?
I really need to measure executing time of a trigger coded in various styles/methods to choose what's the best form of it.
A response would be a BIG help! Thanks in advance.

Sure, timing in any programming language works like this:
Start a timer or note down the current milliseconds / tick count.
Start a loop, one million iterations should give accurate results.
Call the function many, many times!
Stop the timer or subtract tick count from the one you saved.
Divide the difference by the iterations.
