Hey, quick question, I was wondering about the cost of creating a coroutineScope that ends up doing nothing. For example should I bother writing:

if (collection.isNotEmpty()) {
  coroutineScope {
    collection.forEach { item -> launch { doSomeComplexSuspendingWork(item) } }
  }
}

Or does it not really matter much and this would be just as efficient (and cleaner to read)

coroutineScope {
  collection.forEach { item -> launch { doSomeComplexSuspendingWork(item) } }
}

probably pre mature optimization, it could be an issue, but unlikely for most cases

Depends on if that code path is executed frequently or not. If it's once per app installation, don't bother. If it's quite often, the optimization might add up.

Or subtract down I should say.
