Can my CAS Savage benchmark be improved? CAS newbie

[StephenG1CMZ]

Tom,
I am in the habit of using two-letter names when I use PPL.

" LOCAL A;" would obscure access to global A (or worse, risk the code accessing global A, if in one Procedure you forgot to include the "Local"). There can also be confusion with some single-letter names, such as M, which is a matrix not a real. Although not required, I find it much easier to make my own variable.

When benchmarking, it is possible that accessing " global A " might be quicker than "LOCAL AA"...
But then running the benchmark might change a value that other programs are depending on, and would need wrapping up inside a save/restore.
