Development #94

Development #37

Use local variables

When you call a global variable in JavaScript, the interpreter must check that:
- it exists in the current scope, in the scope above, etc. - the variable has a value - and more

To avoid all these checks, it is often possible to make useful variables local by transforming them into routine arguments. This process saves CPU time.
