Is clock memory/processor intensive?

Would it slow things down a lot or make my program bloated to have 10 sf::Clocks at one time?

Not at all. It's just performing a simple system call when you request GetElapsedTime().

Thank you.

That's good to know.  I actually figured out a better way to implement what I'm doing with only one clock.  It's still good to know, though.
