Or combine two of those methods and use a global variable that contains 
an array. I've had good luck with this approach. Globals provide the 
fastest access of the three methods you mention, and arrays are the 
fastest way to access individual chunks of data. A global array also has 
the advantage of being available to all the scripts in the stack and 
keeps all the information in one tidy container.
