What is the amount of time/memory/etc used during reading of this
extraneous data?
well you're almost doubling the amount of data to read in/sort through.
from what I've seen it goes pretty linearly with the number of nodes.
So figure something like a 1/3rd or half as much time to iterate over
the nodes.
memory size I've not estimated.
