     One method is (probably) more efficient.  Performing measurements
to discover which is left as an exercise for the reader.  (I suspect
that measuring the memory footprints might be comparatively simple,
while measuring the execution speeds might be next to impossible.  I
also suspect that neither set of measurements would be worth while.)

     As a matter of style, I'd vote for Method 2 on the grounds that
it's more easily modifiable if/when you decide to change the GUI.
