how tipycally geek-like response, well Sebastian has the right
response lest explaint more:

of course, the benchmark software will run in same machine (the only
case possible) for tests, so then this implice extra I/O and also
extra CPU cycles.. jeje

of course, but the code of if-else logic of gambas will improve the answer,
if code of if-else combined with the disk write verify (a simple ls
shell no complicated gambas focused function) has less cycles rather
than the try-catch, then if-else are more
faster ..

of course, assuming the write access, if only interest the verification the
if-else its so far the most faster..

but:

that's the real true!

in  any cae, i have some test, simple, 120 threath trying to do the
same action, in bot cases, and the if-else are more faster, of course,
assuming write-access enabled!

the right usage are the try-catch, the faster are if-else
