PokeInt Vs Variable

I see lot of people using Banks to store handles.

Is it faster than having a vector of handles?

So:
1 - Return Vector(id)
2 - Peekint bank1,id,4

What is faster (1 or 2)?

1

Yea, but using banks lets you have a byref or pointer effect too...so it's up to you when using a pointer would be helpful
