It is more costly if you assume that the compiler makes it be so. The whole point of Scheme is that you don't bow and scrape to the whims of the compiler. You design a language as small as it can be using constructs which are very powerful, and assume that a sufficiently smart compiler will deal with it. It really is worth reading the lambda papers (https://research.scheme.org/lambda-papers/).
