    Henrik could give more detailed answer, in the meantime...

    A loop of 2 or 3 is structured but not always smaller in code (especially when short like yours).

    But 30 times, I'd go with a loop.

    You can always compile both ways and check code size (Microcode Studio posts it at the bottom).
