No, it just happens that the parser checks in a certain order (from a users
point of view, I don't plan to explain how the parser works) and it so
happens that the check for multiplication and addition have to occur if a
specific order to make sure precedence is handled properly.  This says
nothing about speed of multiplication or addition...
