  memory use

Hi,
hopefully this is a simple question.
I'm not asking about specifics of rotation,
translation, texture etc. but in general about
object modifiers.

My question is:
In general does something like:

#local A = object {
        Blah
        rotate 20 * x
        texture { ... }
}
#declare B = object {
        A
        translate 10 * z
}

consume more memory than the equivalent:

#declare B = object {
        Blah
        rotate 20 * x
        texture { ... }
        translate 10 * z
}

or does the one get flattened to the
other internally?

I'm asking because I have a gazillion
copies of this kind of thing and I'm
starting to run into swap.
