is it faster to call a variable or to perform an equation?
i know it probably depends on the length of the equation, but it might be definitively faster one way. if not then where (approximately) is the cross-over point. they might be almost exactly the same idk.
this is important if you have an equation you can either save a variable to the result and use that or run the equation over again multiple times.
i think a list would probably be slower (they seem inexplicably slow. it's funny, the list to variable speed ratio is SOOO low), but i'm not sure about a variable.
so, yah thanks.

I would say calling it from the variable is faster but to be honest it makes very little difference.
