I think so too.  Also, the #macro version actually has to read the
entire macro declaration once when the macro is first declared
(looking for the #end) as well as when it's invoked.

None that I know of.  In fact, the macro version might use slightly
less memory, but in either case it's a constant amount of memory used
and it won't grow if you use the declared object or macro more than
once.
