Rule of thumb.
Memory is cheap. You can upgrade memory (and storage to an even greater
degree) quicker, easier, less intrusively, cheaper, and further than CPU.
In most of my programs, scripts, etc in my Real Work (tm) I ALWAYS blow
memory left and right to save on CPU time.
Reference arrays are my favorite gimmick with these things. Sorta a
'poor man's RDBMS' ;)
