    //Stuff
  }
} 


Is supposed to take longer to process than this:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.bool = true;
  if (bool) {
    //Stuff
  }
} 


This is, in fact, because an if () statement is eventually evaluating down to true.

PHP Code:

if (bool) 


... is saying "Is bool true?", whereas

PHP Code:

if (bool == true) 


... is saying "Is bool == true true?" (two evaluations instead of one). The difference is not huge though and it is not worth complaining about.
