Clone effectiveness

Hello!

Just read on the forum :

/Here's the caveat.
Don't make a gazillion Clone's they're not lightweight.
If you make 100, it won't kill you, if you make 1000's you may start seeing
memory and speed impacted./

Our project branch contains 800 sconscript files.  From those 800, 300 are
for windows compilation, 500 are for unix compilation.

We systematically create a clone of the environment at the beginning of
*each *sconscript.  So, if I understand well, it might not be the best
approach.  It would be better to do a Clone only when it is needed? 
Reducing the number of clone could potentially speed up the creating of the
tree?

Thx
