IIUC the speed of those operations has been a problem when called many
times within a single command (i.e. the cumulative time became
a problem), so it shouldn't be a problem for interactive use where doing
it 4 times rather than 1 shouldn't be noticeable.

IOW, the problem was algorithmic, but running the same code 4 times
makes no difference algorithmically.

It's your code, so it's your choice.
