I don't think complete elimination is possible. Because it is obvious that 
when some thing is looked first for "expansion" and then taking 'as it is', 
if it is not to be expanded, then there must be some time-difference. However 
it could be that time-difference may have been reduced. But I don't think 
complete elimination is possible. To me 2nd effect of "bad practicing" is 
more important as far as coding is concerned.

Even if there is little time-difference, this also tells that one is using 
inappropriate ways while coding. So this issue has impact from both sides. To 
me it is against good practice. To some extent it is quite fine but when 
people "double quote" paragraph of 100 lines containing static data, it would 
be called as bad practice.
