This type of talent is extremely valuable. They sometimes show it in the most direct fashion (HFTs, game engines, etc.) but when they are not most of the time companies don't even bother. IMHO We pay the price of that as a consumer every day: PCs take 10s just to start booting a system that takes 2s to load, webpages are just eating your battery life etc.
