I'm trying to understand what your point is with relationship to my comment, but I don't see it.

  1.) "premature optimization", the fact that optimization for the sake of optimization isn't optimization, but rather counterproductive, if not obsession or procrastination. 2.) my attempt to answer the question "why do people do this?", which is something I ponder a lot, in relation to gaming and other things as well. Imagine someone cooking the same meal over and over again, to optimize the amount of time they take for it, and the amount of ingredients they use, but never actually eating what they cooked.

    As for number 2, if they get satisfaction out of it, I think that's a perfectly fine (if unusual) hobby.
