Hugo is pushing on this issue (without any real basis, measurement, problems, statistics) and not letting it go. I've answered his question a number of times (using dispatch snippets is best practices [more from a code readability standpoint, but also there is a minor performance penalty]) and he keeps harping on the issue. If you repeat the same question over and over *after Tim and I have answered it* it is a waste of time.
