The two macros have such different cycle times, its hard to compare. The benefit of having everything setup, is that it is hardcoded and overall the macro has to read less lines of code. I was comparing cycle times of KA, another complete mac and the auto macs the other day and the difference in cycles was kind of nuts. On a five minute test on a GH dummy kiss and the other mac I tested cycled through the combat code ~300-400 times while the auto mac cycled 5,500 times. Given a ton of those cycles on the automac are 'empty fires', but it does make for a more responsive macro.
