Directly is always faster than going around, but it depends on what you want. A table from inside the exe is read-only; created cursor is readwrite and you may also have a somewhat different set of fields in it (append will make sure it goes by field name and will even do some simpler conversions where field types differ), so if a readwrite cursor is what you need, go for it.

Of course, it won't change your table-in-exe, but you knew that.
