In short, 'GoTo' statements can be efficient, but that is really how they are used. According to Herbert Schildt (C++ from the GROUND UP), "There are no programming situations that require the use of the goto statement -- it is not an item necessary for making the language complete." Ultimately, the primary reason for many programmers disliking the statement is that goto statements tend to clutter your code and/or make it very difficult to read because, as per the name, gotos can jump from place to place. With that being said, there are times where a goto statement can reduce clutter as well as make code more efficient, but that is totally dependent upon how you use them and the context that they are used in. Personally, I would recommend using function calls, as oppose to several goto statements; others may disagree.
