What do yo get for "name is 'string'" expressions?

Or is that a wrong way too?


On my system testing "if string is string" is slightly faster than "if 
True/ if False" expressions.

But the actual different is so small as to be negligible.  I'm just kind 
of curious why testing is objects isn't just as fast as testing is string?
