Hi, guys. Got a real quick one, here (I believe).  
In terms of access and processing speed, what would be more efficient, a single [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=Blue]Vector[/COLOR][/FONT] holding, say, multiple [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=Blue]Number[/COLOR][/FONT] values in its elements or that same count of values stored in separate [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=Blue]Number[/COLOR][/FONT] variables?  
Thanks.
