Agreed. I'd go a step further, there's a real-world heuristic that this implies. Initially, prefer to task CPU over memory allocation. Crufty allocation generally will always have a real negative impact felt by the end-user. A low memory footprint is always a win, while going for a (theoretical) fast running time may be effort wasted.
