[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] efficiency question

Consider  the following:

if there is a card "Reagan's brain" then put "I don't believe it"

_and_

repeat with i=1 to the number of cards
if the name of card i is "Reagan's brain" then
  put "I don't believe it"
  exit repeat
end if
end repeat


1) Does the first cause Hypercard to do the same thing as the second?

2) (failing (1)) Do they take equal amounts of time?
