Thinking of problems doesn't mean they are problems.  Please come up 
with a test case, ensure that all methods and functions are defined, 
and create two loops which you think should be equally as efficient, 
one which uses the prefix ++ and the other which uses the postfix ++ 
and then time them.  If you discover there is a problem, in the current 
(snapshot) compiler, then let us know.  We can then examine the code 
and the assembly produced and see if a bug report is reasonable.

I suspect you've not seen were time actually goes on modern processors. 
  I suspect that for all real code that one cannot discern a difference 
between them.
