The last example on http://processing.org/learning/2darray/ is doing 101 unecessary function calls every draw() loop. Once for background(0) and 100 times for stroke(255) (once for each cell)

Both the " stroke(255); " and " background(0); " lines could be on the setup funcion

While this is technically true, it's just a stylistic choice I'm making. I prefer to have stroke(255); in the display() method of the object since it is tied to how the object is drawn. While there is nothing else drawn but the objects in this particular example, if one were to add additional elements with different strokes, we'd want to keep the stroke() calls with all the shapes to avoid confusion.
