I think the first bit, that is also always dropped, is also important: "We should forget about small efficiencies". Removed from that context, it has morphed into an excuse by some people to not pay attention to efficiency at all, even when the potential gains are large for a relatively small amount of work.
- mumblemumble 6y agoThere's also a tendency to forget the impact of framing. One or two micro-optimizations may not add up to much. But a habit of, say, avoiding unnecessary object churn, might add up to a very large efficiency gain, a few microseconds at a time.
