Using 'return' instead of 'else' in JavaScript

I am working on a project which requires some pretty intricate JavaScript processing. This includes a lot of nested if-elses in quite a few places. I have generally taken care to optimise JavaScript code as much as possible by reading the other tips on Stack Overflow, but I am wondering if the following two constructs would make any difference in terms of speed alone:

if(some_condition) {
    // process
    return ;
}

// Continue the else condition here

vs

if(some_condition) {
    // Process
}

else {
   // The 'else' condition...
}
