No performance penalty or gain. The text of a saved search is inserted into the search as a parenthesized expression then treated as if it had been typed.

As well, what about nesting a saved search inside another saved search? It would be helpful at times.
That works, but watch out for recursion (a saved search calling itself, perhaps indirectly). You can even insert a vl search expression into a saved search using the vl: qualifier, again being careful about recursion.
