It is generally the case that macros defined in an external file parse 
slower than macros copied to the file in which they are invoked.

Or, to be more precise, the /invocation/ of a macro defined in a 
different file adds some constant overhead per invocation.

If you invoke just a single big externally-defined macro once, not much 
time is lost.
If you invoke a small externally-defined macro hundred thousands of 
times for some reason, it really bogs down parsing, even in 3.7. Maybe 
the overhead has been reduced, but it's still there.
