Programmers tend to over-estimate the usefulness of the programs they =
write. The approximate value of an optimization is:=20

    number of runs =D7 number of users =D7 time savings =D7 user's =
salary - time spent optimizing =D7 programmer's salary

even if the program will be run hundreds of times by thousands of users, =
an extra day spent saving 40 milliseconds probably isn't going to help.=20
