I won't disagree, but I'd say being in the habit of writing semi-optimal code in the fist place, will save you needing to learn new habits later when you do work on a *seriously* busy site :) I didn't argue for '' versus "", but sprintf() is a cycle pig in comparison to either. not only that, but since it's not a keyword, it incurs stack overhead.
