Not limits anywhere near this low. And it's just one function, not several. And I've seen several addons give C stack overflow errors, and they didn't even use local variables at all!

It being functions alone makes it outrageously more slow then it should be. Bitwise operations are supposed to be single opcodes, not dozens of branches and multiplications.

(Lua tables are actually very efficient as well. You just have to be careful about leaving them around as garbage)

I don't see how having two OnUpdate functions with 30 variables each would be faster then a single OnUpdate function with 60. If anything it should be a lot slower.
