trigger when clause

Hi,

Does anyone know the time complexity of the algorithm used to handle
triggers with a when clause?

To make this a little more concrete, what is likely to perform better

a) A single trigger with "n" if/else clauses
b) A set of "n" triggers each using a different when clause.

What if n is 10?
What if n is 200?

The when clause would just be comparing a text "predicate" column for
equality.

Cheers,
Andy
