Considering there are no #declarations of objects inside macro then
one call + 20 copies of identifier will use in memory 21 objects
while macro called 20 times will use 20 objects in memory.

Considering that macro internally use #declarations of local objects then macro
will take more memory.

Macro is always less or more slower than assignment from predeclared identifier.

As long as you not make complicated CSGs like trees there should no problem with
hundreds of megabytes.
