Are you talking speed efficient or memory efficient?

In the case of speed, I like speed but I don't care how fast the error
handling is because most of the time I'm not using errors. With error
handling the prime importance is reliability and then convenience.

In the case of memory, how much difference can there be?
What is this as a percentage of the other data structures in memory?
