I don't have a ton of experience in this realm but from what I've seen it does happen a lot -- looking good is often better than being right. A great example of this is the way they tilted the models for Zelda's A Link Betwee

I see Make It Fast as a discrete step after Make It Right, because if it's made Right, then you can swap out the parts where optimizations need to be made. While you can't always know where slowness will occur, you do know that it
