Theoretically, lots of ‘if’ statements would not significantly reduce code efficiency. The code simply determines the boolean value of the expression and decides whether or not to continue. If there are many ‘if’ statements within an iterative loop, however, that could cause a larger problem in terms of efficiency.
Bad design is a whole other issue that I’m not going to mention (Ziminji has covered it better than I could).
