Do you have any evidence that you're having a performance issue? If not, I'd just do the simple thing and ignore the rest. The performance issues I found were because I was spinning through many, many documents. If you're only worrying about one document at a time, it may not be an issue.
If you *are* having performance issues, I'd *strongly* recommend that you measure to find out where the problem is before trying a solution. Otherwise you'll optimize code that isn't the problem.
