  <p>Which is faster for large numbers of tests in a tight loop?</p>
  
  <pre><code>static bool IsEqual(Int16 a, Int16 b)
  {
     return a==b;
  }
  static bool IsEqual(Int32 a, Int32 b)
  {
     return a==b;
  }
  static bool IsEqual(Int64 a, Int64 b)
  {
     return a==b;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or is there no difference?</p>
