what is should had added is that there are many methods to reduce memory 
usage but they mostly increase processor load & slow execution
when there is plenty of memory it makes more sense to code for speed even 
if this uses more memory

how are you measuring efficiency speed , memory usage or a combination of 
both?

Define waste if the memory used gets the task completed faster is it 
wasted?
