Can you show us some code, it should be easy to diagnose.

What are the advantage of CASE compared to IF?

I don't know about the performance advantages, but for more than a couple of conditions, CASE is much more readable.
It also automatically applies the rule of programming that as few lines as possible should be executed. A CASE statement ignores all alternative cases once a valid one is found.

Is that not the same as an If/Else If?

Yes, but If / Else If is not as elegant, especially after the second one. Again I don't know the full technicalities, but I can see that a series of Else Ifs will have to unwind itself on the stack after resolving the logic. Additionally, a Case statement can be rationalised much better in the compiler, because all CASEs have equal weighting. In the If/Else construct, the compiler has to take your logic as it stands, because there may be dependencies within the ladder of statements.
