What does it matter if it does this 0.1% ten times slower than it could? Then user will have to wait for the software which slows the most expensive component of the whole work setup, the human.

if the software ever takes more than 10ms to do something it is stealing time from the human. the human is the slowest part of the system so nothing else should ever make the slowest part even slower.
It matters because, to give an example, Facebook still isn't fast enough to keep up with my typing speed. And I'm not that fast.
