today in necroposting: if you write your batch files with keywords/builtins in lowercase, cmd.exe executes them (very, very marginally) faster than if they were written in uppercase, because it uses `_wcsicmp` to detect those, and that function converts all characters to lowercase using a branch that bypasses a table lookup if they're already lowercase
