Restraint fosters creativity and efficiency. As an application developer, you'd certainly be much more in tune with how well your application is performing if you could feel a dip in performance the way I remember feeling it when a TUI wasn't responding quite as quickly as it was a few seconds earlier. Giving users insight into your application's performance is a good thing, because I think we put out and put up with unreasonably slow software far too often these days.
