[Xastir-Dev] does it make sense to start killing globals?

[Alan Crosswell]

Depends on where in the code.  If the variable is checked a million times 
because it's in the middle of rendering map vectors then there can be a problem. 
  Again, these can be smartly coded ala len=strlen(foo); and use len, instead of 
calling strlen over and over....
