Yes.

Yes.

Looks like part of Alf's response was lost (censored?). Anyway, I can
supply the missing information:

The function that takes less time (or requires fewer system resources,
depending on the performance metrics selected for the comparison) is
the one that provides the better performance.

Depends entirely on the implementation, and how the code has been written.
Best thing is to test it out yourself.
