I ran this completely unscientific comparison.
startTime = %timestamp();
For x = 1 to 1000;
gResult = ' ' + BASE + ' ';
Endfor;
endTime = %timestamp();
charOut = %char( %diff(endTime :startTime :*ms) );
Dsply charOut;
startTime = %timestamp();
For x = 1 to 1000;
EXEC SQL set :gResult = space(5) || :BASE || space(5);
Endfor;
endTime = %timestamp();
charOut = %char( %diff(endTime :startTime :*ms) );
Dsply charOut;
Results for 2 runs:
