This is an interesting facet of software that feels lost. The naive way can often scale remarkably well. Even better, if you leave an approach stable, as in not changing, you can often get a lot of improvements by focusing on other sections. This isn't too say that throwing more code and complexity can't help. But it is probably no different than any other help, in that most gains are probably slow to realize and more marginal than you'd hope.
