Performance question

I'm backtesting with TS2000, so real-time considerations don't 
apply to this question. 

In my signal, I use a DLL so that I can see the next bar's OHLC.  I 
use this in determining my stop price.  Because of this, I can tell if 
my stop will be hit on the next bar and where it should be hit. 

My question is this.  If I can see that my stop will not be hit, should 
I go ahead and even enter the order?  I would think that if I only 
enter the order when I know it will be hit, I could increase the speed 
at which my strategy would be evaluated because these lines 
would not have to be processed and orders evaluated by TS.  
Would this increase performance?
