On the other hand, I suspect some early programmers might get ahold of this and perform a lot of premature optimizations. A piece of code that runs 20 loops instead of 8 once every couple of hours probably doesn't need to be optimized. A piece of code that does two checks when one would suffice that runs 1000 times every second might need optimization. Profile first, then optimize.
