Does anyone know what/if the diffrences between * and << (shift) is concerning speed. in for example c/c++ the shift (<<) is more than twice as fast as a multiply ( * ). Now I'm wonderig if this is the case in flash too? I mean what else is the use of the shift if it isn't faster than the multiply?

Anyone who knows? Like macromedia employies that I know is present at this board...
