Question: 1. In JSFX, does a non-slider dependent math like makeup_gain = 10^(8 / 20); gets recalculated any time a slider value changes simply because this math is in @slider, or non-slider dependent math in @slider doesnt get recalculated any time a slider moves? 2. What's the difference putting it in @init vs @slider, and which is best?

    FYI, makeup_gain = 10^(8 / 20) is optimized to makeup_gain = 2.5118864315 or whatever (it will precalculate constants). but yeah that will get executed on every time any slider changes if it is in @slider. having said that, that only takes a few cycles so you can put it wherever. If you put it in @init that's also fine, but if other code ever modifies it then it will behave differently...
