I am needing to collect data from multiple loops that are running at varied rates. However, I want to collect data at a constant rate. I am using a seperate loop to poll the data from the other loops to get the most recent data. Something tells me not to use local variables, but to instead use a queue. What are the disadvantages to using local variables and the advantages to using a queue?

Thanks DFGray, you have covered what I was looking for. I had remembered hearing something about efficiency, but couldn't remember it exactly. Good info.
