That is generally the case.

In theory there should be no difference whatsoever.  Since the
variable is constant any decent compiler is going to eliminate it, and
it will not occupy space in the data area (if static) or on the stack
(if not static),  It would appear however that for your compiling
environment at least, that it does make a difference.

OK - I will add the static declaration.
