Invariant Code Optimization

Invariant code optimization is best illustrated by example. Assume you have the following code:

var total;
for(var n=0; n<1000; n++)
total+=1+2+3+4;

The expression 1+2+3+4; will normally be executed 1000 times. However, each time this expression is evaluated, it returns the same result. Therefore, you can rewrite the code as follows:

var total;
for(var n=0; n<1000; n++)
total+=10;

DScript will perform this optimization automatically at runtime. Any attempts you make to optimize your code in this way will probably not result in any performance increase.
