List Dot For MicroBenchmark

/*
 * WARNING THIS IS A MICRO BENCHMARK!
 *
 * A responce to http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/90719-C-having-trouble-using-.find-on-a-List
 *
 * A NPSF3000 test.
 *
 * Conclusion - use what you want, don't microoptimise for the for version.  Not only is it harder to read [for lamba fluet programmers] the performance in a 'typical' implementation is appalling.

Rough Results ('000 Its/Second)

Iterations   List.For   For
1           180         100
100         750         120-180
10000       1000        120-180
1000000     1000        180     [Very consistant]

[I did a quick test and cached the data.Count() in the For version.  It boosted the 1Mn it result from 180 to 17000.  So this doesn't prove that List.For is faster than For, but it does restate the need to either spend the LOC on performance [in this particular instance a waste], or go with the built in option.  Going with for because it is faster without testing and optimisation can lead to poorer perfomance and maintanability!.]
