Hi,

I wonder which kind of implementation well be performed faster using 
GCC:

void functionname(void)
{
  unsigned char x=0;
  unsigned char y=1;
  unsigned char z=2;

  ...Do something with x,y and z.
}

or

void functionname(void)
{
  unsigned long x=0;
  unsigned long y=1;
  unsigned long z=2;

  ...Do something with x,y and z.
}


The first example uses less stack, but it takes a longer time for 
initialization when calling the function cause the 8 bit have to be 
masked out.
Am I right with that supposition?
