But how much of that slowness is due to code that values "cleanliness" excessively? I bet that if you look at the source of nearly any application on your PC, it will be very much not clean on average.

I think it would certainly value the kind of "clean" design patterns (or anti-patterns as I consider most of them) that object-oriented programming evangelists espouse.

Fine, but is that likely to be the cause of these applications generally being slow?
