I am not sure optimization, cache misses, and interpreter overhead would obviously impact the computational complexity. "You're assuming that people are not aware that multiplication is not always a constant-time operation." I made no such assumption. But I suggest people consider the case of vectorization where, all of a sudden, it may matter quite a bit.
