best way to reset

Take It Easy ?
While this:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
may be the easiest way. Is it better to be more specific and not include everything?

Less Is More (Work)?
I create a css file to be imported every time called reset.css so it's never been an issue of more "work". I was under the understanding that the * does not have the benefits of being more specific and actually creates more work for the browser.

I will look into this and post my findings here.
