Yay, yet another contrived example to support somebody's position that a process which works fantastically in at least 90% of the time - and yes, I say 90% of the time (as a low-ball) because there _is no perfect process, framework, ideology, <insert x here>_. Everything has compromise. The compromise to make all code chase performance at the cost of maintainability is rubbish as a blanket choice, but may be necessary in certain niche situations.
