The .format() syntax is actually a function, and that alone carries some
overload. Even optimizing the lookup may give a little advantage:
>>> from timeit import Timer
>>> setup = "a = 'spam'; b = 'ham'; c = 'eggs'"
>>> t1 = Timer("'%s, %s and %s for breakfast' % (a, b, c)", setup)
>>> t2 = Timer("'{}, {} and {} for breakfast'.format(a, b, c)", setup)
>>> print(min(t1.repeat()))
>>> print(min(t2.repeat()))
>>> setup = "a = 'spam'; b = 'ham'; c = 'eggs'; f = '{}, {} and {} for
>>> breakfast'.format"
>>> t3 = Timer("f(a, b, c)", setup)
>>> print(min(t3.repeat()))

But building the call frame still takes its bit of time.
