Your edit to https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mirc/optimization stating that "/set -l" is faster than "/var" is simply untrue. I have benchmarked both statements - 100,000 iterations of "/var %a 1000" takes 2313ms on my PC, and the same number of iterations of "/set -l %a 1000" takes 2344ms. I am going to revert that edit. If you want to have a copy of my benchmark script, happy to share it with you.

Your edit to https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mirc/optimization stating that "/set -l" is faster than "/var" is simply untrue. I have benchmarked both statements - 100,000 iterations of "/var %a 1000" takes 2313ms on my PC, and the same number of iterations of "/set -l %a 1000" takes 2344ms. I am going to revert that edit.
