I personally set all of my global variables whenever I touch Velocity, and I have at least 100 of them, some defined with some pretty complicated routines. It doesn't seem to impact response times on the web application, and it saves a lot of programming and debugging time to just know they are always there.
I'm very impressed with Velocity's speed. I'm willing to trade minor inefficiency for speed in coding.
