To satisfy my curiosity and to provide further info for anyone viewing list archives, I benchmarked assigning a new table() vs. running clear_table() on tables of various sizes & complexities. Assigning a new table() was clearly the winner by a huge margin.
It should be noted that these two methods are not completely equivalent. I run a script where a current table is periodically moved to an old table, and the current table cleared for further use. So, with A & B being tables of the same type: B = A; A = table(); works as intended, as B now contains the prior contents of A, and A is a new empty table. B = A; clear_table(A); clears both, as they both point to the same table.
