Can someone please tell me if I am mistaken not.

Once again, I don't think this example is fast because the compiler 
reuses the return value of fmttable() in the loop. Rather, it simply 
removes the whole expression because its only side-effect is not used in 
the program.

Perhaps that's what everybody else is saying anyway. :)
