Why recursive function consumes more of processing time than loops?

Quote:Why recursive function consumes more of processing time than loops?

Calling a function takes time and requires also resources. Iterating over something is faster than calling.
A call of a function is for a human very short, but if you do this one million times, you can recognize the difference.
