Expensive in terms of computationally expensive, time expensive, and yes cost expensive.
Worth noting that the relationship between characters to token ratio is probably quadratic or cubic or some other polynomial. So the difference in terms of computational difficulty is probably huge when compared to a character per token.
So, put differently, this is just more expensive?
