Can my CAS Savage benchmark be improved? CAS newbie

[StephenG1CMZ]

Here's my latest code, using local variables and L1...
My attempt at using MAKELIST doesn't give the desired result, but the other versions are fine.

Code:



SAVAGEPPL()
 BEGIN
  LOCAL AA;
  AA:=1;
  FOR I FROM 1 TO 2499 DO
    AA:=TAN(ATAN(EXP(LN(√(AA*AA)))))+1
  END;
 END;

#CAS
SAVAGECAS1(f):=
 BEGIN
  LOCAL aa;
  aa:=1;
  FOR I FROM 1 TO 2499 DO
    aa:=TAN(ATAN(EXP(LN(√(aa*aa)))))+1
  END;
  RETURN (aa);
 END;
#END

SAVAGECAS2()
 BEGIN
  LOCAL aa;
  aa:=1;
  FOR I FROM 1 TO 2499 DO
    aa:=CAS(TAN(ATAN(EXP(LN(√(aa*aa))))))+1;
  END;
  RETURN aa;
 END;

SAVAGEML()
 BEGIN
  L1:={1};
  
  L1:=MAKELIST(CAS(TAN(ATAN(EXP(LN(√(L1(0)*L1(0)))))))+1,I,1,2499);
 
  RETURN L1(0);
 END;


EXPORT SAVAGE()
 BEGIN
  LOCAL RR;
  PRINT();
  PRINT({" PPL1: ",TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGEPPL()),RR});
  PRINT({" CAS1: ",TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGECAS1("")),RR});
 
  PRINT({" CAS2: ",TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGECAS2()),RR});
  PRINT({"ML1:WRONG: ",TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGEML()),RR});
  PRINT("DONE");
 //RETURN {TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGED()),RR,TEVAL(RR:=SAVAGEDCAS()),RR};
 END;
