Yes, I noticed that 
And I guess that's the substance of my question.

I'm concerned that I would be mis-representing the language
if I write some silly demonstration programs and those
programs seem slower than other languages. 

And yet, it feels like I would be mis-representing the
language if I write those programs using "while" when it
would be more natural to use the comprehension.

(Guess I'll "do the right thing" and not bother about
performance.)

best wishes, Isaac
