I'm working on a macro, and I get the idea that:

#declare SphereA = sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green}}

#declare Count = 0;
union{
  #while (Count<5)
   object{SphereA translate x*2*Count}
   #declare Count = Count + 1;
  #end
}

uses a lot more memory then:

union{
  sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green} translate x*2}
  sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green} translate x*4}
  sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green} translate x*6}
  sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green} translate x*8}
  sphere{<0,0,0>,5 pigment{Green} translate x*10}
}

Can somebody tell me this is true? I find this strange for some reason.
