I am but my results thus far are statistically insignificant...
I would surprised if there is any difference. Throw together a few million row test table and give it a whirl. I suspect it will be the same.
What is the rationale you are being told to use 0x0 instead of 0? Often people get ideas about performance and they stick with them even if there is nothing to back it up. I have a feeling this may be one of those situations.
If you do end up using 0x0 you should probably add a comment about what that is for others who stumble across your code in the future and wonder what it is trying to accomplish. 😉
