Index _IS_ faster. There is no reason to not use index.

In what way ? There is no reason to not use index, there is no reason
to not use subscript if one uses that, as long as the compiler
supports native integer and optimizes so as not to recompute the
offset.

Which is faster may well depend on the machine, the compiler, and what
is done in the code.
