As for whether or not it's "big user of CPU" that you would depend
entirely on what you're comparing it to.   In comparison to writing your
own routine to strip the blanks off, %trim is very efficient.  However,
a routine that accomplishes the same thing without the need for stripping
the blanks will be need less CPU.
