Performance choice - reference bar values as a series or stored variable

[wildwex]

This is a C# / Ninjascript performance related question.

If I refer to Open[0], Close[0] etc many times within my script, is it any more efficient to reference those series as a variable as opposed to an element in a series/array?

For example, should I declare:

double o = Open[0];

if I'm going to refer to it multiple times in my script for better performance?

Hello Gregory, thanks for writing in.

It would be better to just access the Open[] array rather than setting it to a variable just because Open[] is already set. Neither way would be too impactful on performance.
