Performance versus legibility

not(string(.))	string-length(.)=0
not(x)		count(x)=0
not(x=y)	x!=y


I always use the expressions in the second column for maintainability, but I guess the items in the first column are faster. Is my assumption correct? Are there any other performance bottlenecks in common usage?
