Hardware efficiency is only relevant for programming effort today in a few industries, and even there, only in a few specific applications.
If you gave me a processor that could run instructions instantly, my product's release would at best be brought forward 1-2 weeks.
The largest efforts in programming are to do with translating requirements into code. Efficiency is a part of that, and there are obviously problems where it dominates, but there are many other difficulties even when it isn't.
