In an interpreted language, leaving off the token might be marginally faster, but in a compiled program I can't see how it would make any difference -- that sort of thing should be long gone by the time the code actually runs.

If your loops are so dense or nested that seeing the identifier helps you (or the maintainer) tell what's happening, then use it. Personally, I never do.
