Alright, so this is a 'just wondering' type of thing that I just stumbled upon, and it's oh-so small.
Typically when you're adding to a list at the command of a user, for example clicking on an object, you'll want to use the |= operator to assure that more than one of a specific object wouldn't be added to the list.
However, the client screen list works differently. Regardless of whether you use the |= operator it appears that it only ever will add a single object once.
That said, under the hood, is it more efficient to just use += always for adding things to the client screen and force it to perform the check itself, or to use the |= operator and do that part for it?

To the question, += is faster than |=, but probably not enough to really worry about it. Until you start working with absurdly large lists, or code that's going to be called tens of thousands of times a second or more. Until which point... Don't worry about it. | |
