It depends on the specifics of what you are doing. If you need to be miserly about ROM use then recursion might help however if this needs to be a time critical piece of code then recursion might be trouble. You also need to balance in the fact that in terms of future maintenance you would like things to be readily understandable as much as possible. What are you doing and why are you considering recursion?
