The C3 system only paid 10,000 people. Performance was something of a problem; during development it looked like it would take 1000 hours to run the payroll, but profiling activities reduced this to around 40 hours; another month's effort reduced this to 18 hours and by the time the system was launched the figure was 12 hours. During the first year of production the performance was improved to 9 hours.
And I happen to know for a fact that naive string concatenation was a big part of the performance problem! (Bringing it back to my original comment.)
