I have an AGI (written in C) that sets 810 (yes, eight hundred ten) 
channel variables at the start of every call after reading the variables 
from a MySQL database based on the DNIS. It executes in the blink of an 
eye.

I'm guessing that setting a variable takes a bit longer than reading a 
variable so the overhead of reading 4 variables after each step should be 
undetectable.
