Ah, the days of rearranging code so you could take advantage of the special Ans variable being faster to access…

TIL Ans is faster. Holy crap is this info coming to me too late; all of my programs could have been so much better.
So I pulled out my TI-85 just now to benchmark this. It seems that the access is very close the same speed, but the implicit store is a bit more than 20% faster than storing to a named variable.
