Thanks Andreas for the comments.  On larger machines with processors with lots of register, with the compiler optimization I don't think it matters whether stack variables or repeated common expressions are used.  On smaller machines with processors with limited number of registers, this will be a problem.  I'll fix these on my rework.

Thanks,
Mak.
