Just confirming, its expensive since it renders the yield twice, correct?
What if i did something like:

<% yield_contents  = yield(:submenu)
      if !yield_contents.strip.blank? -%>
   <div class="submenu">
    <%= yield_contents %>
  </div>
<% end -%>

Would that work?

I guess I never realized that I could yield twice.  Thanks for the tip. Much
appreciated.
