Javier Gutiérrez Chamorro (Guti) in Bitácora de Guti writes that in a couple of cases, descending loops can be more efficient that ascending loops:
- If the initial expression is simpler than the final. As in for (I=strlen(a); I>0; I--) is better than for (I=0; I<strlen(a); i++) because in the former case, the calculation of "i" is only done once, whereas in the latter this calculation is performed once for each character in the string.
- If the start of the loop is zero. This is because in the x86 and x64 chips there is a fast instruction for testing for zero without resorting to a time expensive compare instruction.
