I wouldnt want to go over any code you guys have written

Speed is really irrevelant in such a case and you cant really say shorter code is the fastest one.

I would write it as clear as possible and in a more logical way.

this is clear but it is not logical

Code:

if ( a==1)
{
   if (b==5)
      stuff
   else if (b==6)
      stuff
   else if (b==7)
      stuff
}
else if (b==5)
{
   if (a==2)
      stuff
   else if (a==3)
      stuff
}

just use:

Code:

if (a==1)
//bla bla
else
//..

or

Code:

if (a==xx && b==zz)
else if ..
