I'd imagine that to something like Facebook, every split-second of optimisation is worth it, as even a 100th of a second becomes minutes of wasted time over the course of a few hours when you consider their volume of users, even with caching. Right. That, and the translation factors are the two most important things to mention. Further, translatable quotes take longer to process because they're first evaluated for things to translate. This only equals out to a few FLOPS, but when increasing by magnitude, the FLOPS are increased exponentially as well. And add on a few more FLOPS for each translation, such as escaped quotes and dollar signs. -- </Daniel P.
