This is special pleading, though, right? It being relevant to "any" large scale project really just means that projects can get big enough for it to matter, but how many jobs involve this family of software? How many interviews for positions directly related? Very few, I would guess.

I find myself having to think about efficiency at least a couple times a week. I'm working on database implementation, and in the query processor we have to consider all the time how to evaluate various things efficiently.

Taking this at face value, were any of the techniques you use in these tasks directly addressed during your interview there?
