RE: Style question

Thank you all who responded to my mail. We had discussion in our code review
about it. I was suggesting to declare the varibles with in for loop if they
are not being used out side. Another team member was suggesting that it is
slow.
Also, which one is fast? using Iterator or get the size() and use
elementAt(i) for vector?

thanks

Yes, I was well aware that it was faster.  There was a lot of
discussion after the fact of the initial question about it, so I
decided to test it explicitly mainly to see how MUCH faster it was.
