oh I assumed you meant "faster" as in, which happens quicker..i.e computer speeds. Information I've loaded from tables are slower than loading information from variables or direct assigning. I've had to add Waits before executing certain code blocks because loading data from a table is slower than a tick. Whereas assigning table data through direct assigning happens in 1 tick.
Adding wait is not best way to do it. Most efficient way to build certain chain reactions is state machine. Unless you have some massive array to deal with, like a big level, arrays are fast enough.
