It should satisfy the needs of the customer and it should be reasonably secure.

Everything else is a luxury.

My point was that in most of my time in the industry being faster would not have benefited my customers in any manner worth measuring.

I'm not anti-performance. I fantasize about how to make my software faster to maintain my geek credentials. But neither my bosses nor my customers pay for it.

If a customer says they want it faster we'll oblige.

Clean code, easy to maintain is not luxury when talking about a programming language implementation.
