Well, thank you.  After realizing to myself that I
am an idiot for asking this question, because every
value is on the stack before being assigned somewhere,
I pondered your response.  Which would execute faster?
Storing the function in a table, or simply creating
a global function?  These functions are going to be
called millions of times, and thus, optimization is
key here.

Thanks!
