Premature optimization is the root of all evil http://wiki.c2.com/?PrematureOptimization -- DonaldKnuth

Finding the right balance really comes down to experience though and we're all growing a little bit.

I don't understand what your concerned about. If you worry about efficiency, I believe it does not matter.
