[pstricks] TeX loop structures versus Postscript Loop Structures and Plotting

Hello all,
I have been working on developing a few plotting routines for writing a
thesis. I started out using high level TeX objects only, i.e. repeated
\psdot or \psline calls using a TeX loop (adapted from The Latex
Graphics Companion "GetCoordinates" example on page 329). However, as I
started to learn a bit about pstricks I started to re-write some of the
postscript routines as well.
Now for my question (or rather a request for opinion). Is it worth it
to create new plotstyles or just string together high level objects? I
will likely be plotting over 100 graphs and diagrams.
The features I was looking for and at least partially implimented were:
1. X and Y ErrorBars (implimented below in \GetOneCoor and new plotstyle
ErrorLine)
2. Plot Linear Regression (in the process of modifying LSM plotstyle to
present equations, 95% conf. intervals and r^2 values, partially
implimented)
3. Plot (x, y1 y2 dup mul exch dup mul sqrt) square root of sum of
squares [application: two orthogonal vibration amplitude channels]
(implimented below in \GetTwoCoors)
4. Postscript modifying functions (implimented in \GetOneCoor below or
use \psScalePoints)
5. LineToXaxis should respect \psScalePoints. i.e.
\psScalePoints(1,1){}{10 add} then the line should be drawn to (x,10)
not (x,0) this allows for spatial velocity plots. I want to do scaled
velocity plots on a spatial diagram.
5. Generalized iterative non-linear regression using prototype function
and AlgtoPS (I'll probably be leaving this one alone, but I'd love to do it)
So what ar the implications of:
%%%%%Pseudo Code%%%%%%
Start TeX Loop (i =1 to n){
\psline(xi-1,yi-1)(xi,yi)
\psdot(xi,yi)}
End TeX Loop
Versus
Tex Command{
Start PS Loop
Dot
Line}
End PS Loop
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
What is the effect on processing speed, overflow issues, final document
load times, final document size. Thanks very much for any advice.
