Thanks for the breakdown, I'm pretty sure I've got an answer for the first question now. Although I'm a little unsure as to whether my explanation is correct or not. But never mind, we got an answer after 2 days...

For the second question, I'm 99% sure that the memory region that rScreenBufferfer is stored in is Static Memory because it's a global variable and won't be de-allocated for the entirety of the program. Please correct me if I'm wrong (which it probably is :P).

Also on the second question, I've read that there isn't really many or any performance benefits to static variables compared to non-static variables. Has it got something to do with storing memory or faster execution of the program?
