Sometimes of course this means repeating work. Sometimes the optimizer 
can eliminate the repeated work for you; sometimes you can eliminate it 
yourself by using variables to hold the intermediate results of a 
computation. Taken further, this leads to pipeline architecture in which 
you put your data through a series of transformation steps composed in 
series or in parallel.
