A comment on The Sad Reality of Post-Mature Optimization.
That's total bullshit. I've seen massive improvements from just a few key optimisations on very large code bases.
Q: "When is it a mature time to start to consider performance, however?"
A: When you have problems due to slow performance.
The "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" catchcry is basically the same as "don't solve problems you don't have".
