I haven't really checked, to be honest, but I would guess that in a
large program it would be quicker because there are fewer variable
declarations, so the compiler doesn't have to allocate space for variables
that will be destroyed right away anyway (if they are lexically scoped, as
they should be), or if you are not using 'use strict' (shame shame), then it
will definitely cut down on the memory used, since you won't have a lot of
extra global variables lying around.
Perl does all of that sort of thing for you(thankfully), so I'm not
sure to what extent it applies.

That's a very cool way of using that while loop and array. I got to see
about
using that. Is it considered any quicker or less memory intensive?
