You're right, it seems to take quite a while (100-200 μs) even if it doesn't have to go to memcached or the database, at least here on localhost. Doesn't seem to decrease much with successive executions either. The practice trades a couple kilobytes of memory for a few milliseconds' execution time, I guess. Probably not a bad idea, but local variables are good enough for me.
