Yes.  It is most obvious in the DOM.

That does not mean anything; for example, sometimes internal optimization 
will take place, too.  Your empty loops are prime candidates for internal 
optimization to begin with.

My statement is true in general (as a rule of thumb), and if you think more 
carefully about it (i.e., how the “for” command works), you will realize 
why.
