Optimization question

[JFAMAP]

1000 Variables VS 10 Variables with array (size 100 and fully used)
It makes difference?

It doesn't matter. Take the more readable option.
But to answer your question: array size is always 8192, no matter what size you select.
So 10x8192 = 81920 VS 1000

Optimization should be focused on creating less Special Effects/Units at once, having longer intervals on complex Timers/Periodic triggers, and preventing nasty memory leaks. You shouldn't really worry about the fact that your game takes up an extra 100mb in memory when users have 10+ gigs leftover.

Also, Array Size limit is 32,768 on version 1.31+.
