Just planning ahead a bit with code decisions. I usually do what makes the most sense for readability, etc. But sometimes it really doesn't matter as far as that goes, but might matter for speed for something I need to do every frame, so I search for the fastest method.

Is there any difference between checking whether a boolean is true vs checking an integer is > 0 (or whatever)? I can't tell any difference at this point, but I just wonder if down the road it will add enough to matter.

This is a YAGNI concern, it won't make any difference if you are doing that check once (or a few hundred times) per frame.

But since you asked,

IF myBoolVar THEN ...
'  is a bit faster than
IF myIntVar > 0 THEN ...
'  or
IF myBoolVar = true THEN ... ' why check "=true"?! good for readability, not so much for speed

The difference is a part of a microsecond and will become significant when you start doing that thousands of times per frame.
