Do what you like, but percentages don't mean anything unless you're running
a lot of assignments in a loop like the artificial conditions in the test I
showed. A few microseconds (the absolute number - not a percentage) really
won't make a difference in very many scripts.

I write for readability and maintainability. Sometimes chaining assignments
(this may have a better name - Bash doesn't support this type: a=$b=$c) or
multiple assignments separated by semicolons makes sense for organization,
etc. But I almost always write one statement per line - command,
assignment, etc. I even put then and do on their own lines (but that's just
a style choice).
