Stripping that kind of thing from a string does, obviously, take some CPU cycles, but it's usually minimal. Might make a difference on a server that was close to hardware overload already, but it's a "straw that broke the cammel's back" kind of thing. If it's not already overloaded, you'll probably never see the difference in performance.
