I just tested it with both eval and $$, and $$ seems to be about 3 to 4 times faster than eval BUT if you are processing less than 10000 variables then there is no noticeable difference. Sorry I suggested eval! but I think it is easier to read the program when using eval as it is more eye catching than just an extra $ that is easily missed.
