Any compiler worth anything will optimize the usage of memory anyways. They have the potential to cause problems with two functions trying to use the same buffer at the same time and they go against commonly recommended coding practices (ie you should not make globals that are meant for local function use). Also they take up memory when not in use that could be allocated to other temporary variables.
