Performance Question on Drawing Rectangle Drawing Objects

I am having difficulty determining the performance with simple time tracing within my study, so I'll ask.

My study uses Drawing tools methods to draw a series about 10 rectangles with text in them across the top of a chart. The text represents moving averages, and therefore may change with each invocation of the study.

From a cpu / system resource performance standpoint, which is better, and in rough terms, how much better (e.g. not significant -> very significant)?

a) Create, then Modify each drawing object when text must be changed
b) Create, then Delete and Recreate each drawing object when text must be changed

Thanks

Would be best to create and modify and specify the position of them by Index instead of Date-Time and make sure they are not user drawn type of drawings.
