You're right.
Same conclusion on x86 with gcc 4.7. I had tried that a long time ago (maybe 10
years or so) on x86, benchmarking both pure C and Java on this very function (it
was for aircrafts timeslots conflicts discovery).

At that time, the "startA <= endB && endA >= startB" was fastest. So compilation
technique have improved enough to write maintainable code after all :)

Cheers.
