Whoops, that's what I did (using EVAL() in the STORE command gets you an error about using an array as a function or something like that). Anyways, a loop of 1 million takes 37.805 seconds for the &, and 33.868 for the named expression.

Same million passes for a variable were 6.149 for the &, and 2.604 for the EVAL().
