globally
- use m. prefix
- use with/endwith
with objreference && when accessing an object more than once or twice
.value = 123
abc = .property
endwith

For code that is executed many times

- reduce the number of calls
- reduce the number of statements (at the cost of readability)
- avoid string variables, if you have chars replace them with integer variables
- cut variables that are only used a few times, eg

for i = 1 to ....
   n = m.i + 5

   result = m.i * m.n
endfor

&& faster

for i = 1 to ....

   result = m.i * (m.i + 5)
endfor

use the coverage profiler to find the bottlenecks

Try to do things another way that is faster

I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to cust down the execution time to 30% (not by 30%)
