Depends very much on your projects. Web developers generally have it easy, as it's cheap to add more servers and free to burn CPU in the browser. Even so you can get into trouble with anything that's O(N) in the number of users. I do wonder how much use of nosql is from people who think SQL is slow because they've not got their indexes set up properly.
Game developers, of course, live and breathe performance. As do embedded and similar low-level environments. Or people working with this trendy "big" data.
