Depending on the clone type (deep/shallow) that could be quite a performance
hit, not to mention that the whole idea of copying data from a collection that's
nice and merry for your code into another that mirrors it for data transfer is
such a very wrong and wasteful thing to do.
You may be better off using iBATIS if you're in the first stages of development,
as it's very neat and does not f#*@ with you in such devious ways.
