In practice this sort of task is almost inconsequential performance 
wise. Most applications spend the vast majority of their time on either 
input or output (i.e. parsing, tree building, and serialization) or 
both. The speed of in-memory operations is normally so much faster it's 
hard to even measure. I doubt it matters.
