As a former assembly language programmer I have some idea of the

simple request

occurs in
the murky depths
of the operating system, but if there were any simple way to avoid
adding

unnecessarily it would be nice to know about it.
Ahhh, finally someone who understands this principle. There's
simply no
reason to waste cycles if you don't have to.

Flip side of the coin: also no point in wasting 10 hours accomplishing
something that can be done in 2 on a management screen that rarely
gets used. :)
I know this well. I also work in a framework where 8 nested foreaches
can be found. Arrays are hardly expensive in my position...
