I'm not sure if there is a speed difference, but in versions
at least up to 4.5 (not sure if it is more stable now because
I don't code this way anymore) I would occasionally get a
strange 'I/O' error when trying to insert using VALUES with
an expression. This would cause the insert to fail, sometimes
the program would continue, sometimes it would crash. So I took
to creating my expressions first, then inserting the dotted
variable. Totally fixed the I/O problem at the time.
