At least in C, "static" means that the value(s) of the object never 
change as the program runs; this is used mainly to tell the compiler 
that it can use optimizations that depend on these values never changing.

Of course, if you don't care how fast your program runs or how much 
memory it uses, you don't need to bother with optimizations.
