Swift — Boolean comparison for performance

When we try to do a comparison for a Boolean type the developers are used to use below methods.

//case for negation

if !result {
//goes in condition if result is false
}

Easily readable option

if result == false {
//goes in condition if result is false
}

But have we ever notice that this simple change can do wonders for compilation in swift?

If a negation comparison takes 10 ms the == operator can take around 40 times more time to compile.

Reason

There are lot of overloads for the == operator than for the boolean comparison. The (==) equality operator has lot of equality condition under the hood with a pretty syntax.

On the other hand comparison for negation is pretty simple.
