Performance on getitemvalue depending on doc size

Does anyone know if there is performance hit on using doc.getitemvalue of a field (imagine the exact same field) between a doc with a size of 120K bytes vs one with 1K bytes. I can only imagine there is, but someone here might know how Notes actually does that.

I am having to use this on thousands of documents, and if I had a smaller doc with just the fields I need, I could end up with lots of those little 1K size docs, and maybe this would speed up over the entire length of the process.

NOTE: size difference would be due to just a lot more fields on the bigger doc, fields that I do not need for this process. The overhead for the smaller docs is not an issue.

Thanks

Matt
