Continually referring to a system variable would be slower as it has to talk
to the OS... it'd be quicker again if you break it up into the parts in one
go, and then refer to those as well.
It's a minor increase in speed, but if you're expecting hundreds of
thousands of visitors per day, then it'd be worth it.
Oh, and put it into the Application scope, not just into a variable...
