There's nothing intrinsically inefficient about recursion. As far as I could
see, the process here was linear. Sibling recursion can lead to stack
overflow if the number of siblings is high, but that doesn't make it slow. I
looked hard at this to see if there was any non-linearity, but if there is,
I couldn't find it.
