For trivial programs there may or may not be examples where recursion is
faster.

But recursion is a natural fit for many kinds of programming which would be
a pain to implement with iterative methods.

Especially with making arrangements to save/restore complex data which may
well end up slower than just using recursion. But even if recursion was
slower, the difference would be minimal in a real application, while keeping
the code much cleaner.
