newbie question

Hi

I have a question regarding performance!

I have a module (test) with a record test defined .i.e

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-module(test).

-record( test, { field1, field2, field3}).

-export([ compare/2 ]).

-compare( A, B ) when record(A, test), record(B, test)
->
        case A#test.field1 > B#test.field1 of
                true -> "A>B";
                false -> "A/>B"
        end.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The reuse of 'test' as module name and record name helps reduce the number of 
atoms used,
but would this have an impact if any on performance when more complex 
calculations are done?
