No.  Use uselocale() call will be about 5 instructions, i.e., not
measureable.  The calls to a generic snprintf function are more
expensive than absolutely necessary but in the end will be faster than
what you'll have to do for other platforms.  The implementation is more
optimized and no post-processing to reflect the locale is needed.
