No. Most built-in functions are implemented as plugins so they are not
necessarily faster than user plugins. A plugin that does pixel-by-pixel
processing is much faster than a macro that does pixel-by-pixel
processing, but a plugin that calls built-in functions can be slower
than a batch mode macro that calls built-in functions.
