To get an idea of the performance of a routine you need to benchmark it. 
Simply counting the number of HLL statements will not tell you how 
efficient the routine is.   Also think of the future efficiency of 
maintaing the code.  One common way to develop an application is to write 
clear, easy to read code, run the application and tune the few areas that 
need to be addressed for performance. The major areas to find enhanced 
performance tend to centre around reducing I/O rather than eliminating an 
opcode or two.
