It is no faster on my machine.  Which isn't surprising.  The manual says
that the loop variable is already local:

"The loop variable var is local to the statement; you cannot use its
value after the for ends or is broken. If you need the value of the loop
variable var, then assign it to another variable before breaking or
exiting the loop."
