Always Make a Local Copy of an Object

Reading from the object variable is always slower than reading from the local variable. So, if you are reading from the object variable frequently, then save it in a local variable and access it.

Look at the code snippet:
 
if Myobj.Value = 0 then
Do something
elseif Myobj.Value > 0 then
Do something
elseif Myobj.Value < 0 then
Do something
end if

Instead of doing the above, do the following:
 
MyVar = Myobj.Value

if MyVar = 0 then
Do something
elseif MyVar > 0 then
Do something
elseif MyVar < 0 then
Do something
end if

The latter runs faster.
