Variables scope slower than no scope??
I have been twiddling with some performance geekness and created a small test to see if direct scoping the variables scope was faster than not scoping it, and I found some very interesting results. Scoping the variables scope was much slower than not doing it. It is shocking but true. Or maybe my test is foolish, judge for yourself and let me know.
