WARNING: For the casual reader.

Its very bad advice to use STORE of many variables over the individual initialization of variables.
Individual initialization allows for better readability, especially when values might change over time.

True it has some performance advantage, but it is so tiny that has no practical use except in the utmost extreme cases.

>The second batch of code takes less time to execute and less time to step through in the debugger. It's easier to understand. These are facts, not opinion. A set filter, then a go top is wasteful. Go top is not going to respect the filter, even if it is optimized. Scan does a go top by default.
