I don't share the same preference intuitions as you regarding self-clone-torture. I consider copies to be part of the output.

I derive my intuitions from the analogy of a cpu-inefficient interpreted language. I don't care about the 99% wasted cycles, except secondarily as a moderate inconvenience. I care about whether the job gets done.
