HUD item efficiency?

Consider I have the following code:

var/obj/O = new
O.screen_loc = "1,1 to 15,15"
client.screen += O


Is this implementation efficient? Could I just write this:

var/obj/O = new
O.screen_loc = "1,1"
client.screen += O


And it would have the same effect on CPU/network usage?

i.e. Would using the new big icon feature to display large icons to the HUD be more efficient?

Using big icons would be more efficient, as it's actually only one object.
