Integer Comparison

Forgive if this is a stupid question:
Lately I have been testing basic arithmetic and logical operations by implementing them using only bitwise operators to test efficiency. Many simple operations can be sped up greatly using this approach.
The question is: will comparison of integers using only bitwise operators (no < or > or <= or >=) create any improvement? I would test this myself but for the life of me have not figured out how to implement this.

OP's note: If you can avoid providing the actual implementation that would be great. I just want to know if it's all in vain or not.

I'm not an expert on the matter and I'm not entirely sure how you would compare using only bitwise operators, but I think it depends on the architecture/chip-set.

no.
maybe 20 years ago, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't make even the slightest difference anymore

Okay. Thanks, guys. I am going to try to hammer out an implementation anyway and see what I find. But I think the idea that it doesn't matter anymore is probably correct.

Thanks again.

Yeah, good fucking luck with that
