I think if there really is a different class for small tables (with only one
or a few rows, just for arranging things on page or even on one line), then
complexity doesn't matter for that class, but prettiness. Only standard or
long tables should really be very anxious about complexity. It shouldn't be
quadratic - exactly this seems to be the problem of many report generators
or word processors abused as such.
