  Parsing question...

What is actually easier for POV to parse,
(Float_Value*2) or (Float_Value+Float_Value)?

Does it make a difference? I tend to recall that
I've learned somewhere that any parser/CPU has
to do some extra job to break down the "multiply with
2" into something it can actually calculate, while
"add" is very simple and clean to do for a CPU.

Am I correct?
