How to correct using timing and vec3?

[Aily]

In all examples all values are multiply by appspeed() function. So what is faster to calculation:

 

this:

repeat

   turnentity cube1,vec3(0,1*appspeed(),0)
   turnentity cube2,vec3(0,2*appspeed(),0)
   turnentity cube3,vec3(0,3*appspeed(),0)

forever

 

or this:

repeat

   spd#=appspeed()

   turnentity cube1,vec3(0,1*spd,0)
   turnentity cube2,vec3(0,2*spd,0)
   turnentity cube3,vec3(0,3*spd,0)

forever

 

?

 

And that's one, what is better (faster) to using vector constructors:

 

this:

repeat

   turnentity cube,vec3(0,1,0)

forever

 

or this:

global turn_vec:tvec3=vec3(0,1,0)

repeat

   turnentity cube,turn_vec

forever

 

?

Well I expect that the AppTime is calculated only once per update and then cached and it should return the same result per frame, so I think it's the same as performance.

 

Also for the second question I say that it's the same as performance since you're not doing any operations on the Vec3 except the initialization with default values.

 

At the end it's just matter of taste, I'd prefer to instantiate a variable in both cases just because if tomorrow I have to change their value it should be done on a single line and not 3+
