.. note::
Adding a column to a ``DataFrame`` is relatively fast. However, adding
a row requires a copy, and may be expensive. We recommend passing a
pre-built list of records to the ``DataFrame`` constructor instead
of building a ``DataFrame`` by iteratively appending records to it.
See :ref:`Appending to dataframe <merging.concatenation>` for more.
