Subject: Is there a reason that Crafty has some global varaibles for time?

I thought to have some static local varaibles for things like remaining number
of moves to the time control or time_used and I looked at time.cpp of Crafty and
found that Crafty is using global varaibles.

I also found that some functions like DisplayTime are in utility.c and not in
time.c
I wonder if it is a good programming and if there is a special reason for it?
After all time varaibles are not varaibles that are used very often during the
search so it may be better to have less global varaibles and if I want to use
time varaibles to call a function that is in the time.c file in order to do it.
