What I was told a while ago was the using the ActionStack or the
$this->action() view helper is like running another request though.
I reprocesses your dispatch loop and all it's plug-ins. This is really
expensive for sites that have a lot of traffic as it has to run the
dispatch loop x number of times.
If you actually look at the performance of doing it with the action
stack vs doing it with custom view helpers you actually see a rise in
pages per second served.

I have almost the same usage. I create "pages" in XML which are decoupled from
the modules. I.e. a contact page uses the module "text" to render some text
and the module "contact" for the contact form. A page "Threecolumns" is just
as simple as three times the module "text" being called. But there are pages
("blog") which just contains the blog module.
I have posted about this issue some time ago, but nobody is able to justify
why you shouldn't use the action helper / stack in this context. Of course you
shouldn't use the stack for breadcrumbs or other *very simple* placeholders
(like your shopping cart inside a storefront module).
But these "blocks" where Christian (I think) and I am talking about are much
more than some simple placeholders. So I don't seem how you're able to use
view helpers with very complex situations.
