If I understand what you are saying, it should generate a tree of branches so the positions of the cases shouldn't matter a huge amount. It can depend on the differences between the cases and the branch targets though, they might not match.

Let us know if you have reason to think this would be worse in some way, it's not a very easy thing to measure accurately. A load from a constant pool into an indirect jump can be worse than a series of branches that can each be independently branch predicted.
