hb_buffer_create() is pretty fast.  The main advantage of keeping one around
is the the buffers an hb_buffer_t allocates (and grows as you put longer text
into it) will be reused, as opposed to being freed and allocated small and
grown larger again.

One way or another shouldn't make any measurable difference to you.
