Hm. saving some CPU cycles and wall clock time makes life a lot easier.
Guess you haven't too much of a life then :-)
No kidding, why not keep things simple. and elegant.
(and actually people needing to maintain a lot of machines and keeping them
up to date is somewhat an oddity anyway; My experience is that most embedded
developers need to support only a few machines and typically freeze their
sources and stabilize their product).
