Run results for: If statements vs zero multiplication and assignment

Is it faster to check if a numeric calculation needs to be performed and assigned to an object property, or just do the calculation against zero and assign it anyway.

Test name	Executions per second
If Statement - True	2623592.0 Ops/sec
If Statement - False	9042962.0 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var DO_MATHS_TRUE = true,
    DO_MATHS_FALSE = false,
    DELTA = 12345,
    OBJ_SRC = {x: 12},
    OBJ_SRC_ZERO = {x: 0},
    OBJ_DEST = {x: 0};

Tests:

If Statement - True
if(DO_MATHS_TRUE){ OBJ_DEST.x += (OBJ_SRC.x * DELTA) }
If Statement - False
if(DO_MATHS_FALSE){ OBJ_DEST.x += (OBJ_SRC.x * DELTA) }
Calculate - Positive
OBJ_DEST.x += (OBJ_SRC.x * DELTA)
Calculate - Zero
OBJ_DEST.x += (OBJ_SRC_ZERO.x * DELTA)
