I think the pareto curve still covers that idea. You want to be farther along the curve towards speed.
Also you may be thinking in terms of a different optimality criterion for quality, which as the above poster noted may be unclear, e.g. a lot of effort in one direction that seems like the best decision in the short term but actually hinders needed flexibility in the long term. This just means the short term improvement wasn't really towards optimal after all.
