Description

See bug Groovy-8019

A similar issue exists for a while() statement.
However, it doesn't seem as dependent on the while condition code. Just the fact that the for loops are wrapped in a while() statement adversely affects the performance of the for loops.

A brief look at the code changed for 8019 (not that I fully understand it) makes me think there may be other cases that should be reviewed for a similar issue.
