> (Im)mutability is really the relevant thing -- strings follow the same
copy/share behavior as lists, but it's hard to tell the difference because
they're immutable.  You would see a performance difference, though.

Which performs better? I would assume it's 'set', because it moves less data
from memory location to memory location. And would 'set' use less memory as
well.

With faster processors would the performance difference even be noticeable?

ES?
