You are right. It slows things down a lot. For similar 
purpose, I have a custom python module with something what 
I call "pseudovariables" - some objects inside of the 
module that looks like variables so you might use them in 
your command-line triggers etc.

I'll put the module to the Wiki soon and post the link 
here.

Anyway, you can do it the simple way as you wrote and look 
whether the performance is sufficient for you.
