If you require more CPU cycles to do it, then it's not indistinguishable, even if it actually winds up being visually indistinguishable.

It drains more battery, it leaves less CPU for other operations, etc.



Indistinguishable as far as the user is concerned. I'm guessing most users won't ascribe any battery or CPU degradation to a new app, unless they spend half their day on it.
