I have a question regarding the use of breaks in while loops, it seem most breaks can be avoided by adding extra conditions for the loop. However it somehow make it a bit harder to get the logic of the loop right.

But how does the approaches compare from performance view?
What was the main reason to include break in the language?
Is there logic that can not be resolved without a break in loop?
