Would a measure process slower if there are many embedded measures inside of it?

A basic example for illustrative purposes: which would be a quicker measure for [Bikes]:

1. Generic Amount:=SUM([Col a])
Bikes:= CALCULATE([Generic Amount],[Col b] = "Bikes")

2. Bikes:= CALCULATE(SUM([Col a]),[Col b] = "Bikes")

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
It's a great question. I really don't THINK you would see a diff, but ... I will research :)
