Good point. The readability angle is that the const clutters the code to no 
benefit.  That is, even if it was performance neutral, I'd still want to 
discourage this practice.  But, it does seem like the primary impact is 
performance. 

I'm fine either way -- moving it to performance or emphasizing the clutter of 
the unhelpful "const".  I'm inclined to moving it, but don't have good sense of 
how strict these hierarchies are. What do you think?
