Yes and No.

1. compared to the amount of work LCP does 40 ops at the beginning 
doesn't even begin to matter

2. depending on the way it is programmed the branching might be placed 
somewhere where there is already a branch or switch statement ...

3. modern optimization with branch prediciton etc, ... can minimize this 
a lot
