When I said efficiency, I was refering to the fact that recursive calls are reputed inefficient in LabVIEW. I guess It is less efficient to instanciate the VI space than to pre/reallocate an array for next data level. Often it is not possible to figure how is "big enough" without first digging in the recursion tree.

But the programmer can implement it with recursive calls or while loops.

It seems to me that recursion is needed when you you didn't think you would have needed it in the first place!!!(design phase)
