Here is another way of answering this that may be clearer.
Yes, structured code is easier to optimize
But, a goto does not make code unstructured per se. The goto
makes it possible to write nasty hard-to-optimize code in this
respect, but the mere use of a goto does not mean that you are
in fact creating unstructured code. After all the little example
here that was given (the blanks eater with the goto) is
perfectly well structured (single entry-single exit, well formed
loops etc, just not very clear!
