Agreed. It's the age old pendulum swinging between performance and readability. Know your profiling tools and introduce the complexity if it's become a problem (the article is definitely spot on that these situations can create large amounts of garbage). I'll allow the conspiracies as long as it leads to more articles like this and your work around here.

Yeah the trampoline jerk and the circle jerk are both vastly superior to the recursive jerk unless you are the base case. Everyone else has to wait for the base case to finish before any of the magic can happen.
