If your considering optimization it is important to understand how your containers measure function works. I suppose if you have containers 15 levels deeps or more with each having relative, perecntage based values set, it might tax on slower processors.
Tims and Ralfs advice is gold. Just don't add any unnecessary containers and be aware how the containers handle there measuring.
