I put it second behind "premature optimisation" which is used to justify never caring about performance at all (until it's too late and you can't do anything about it).

Actual premature optimisation is harmful for the same reason as premature abstraction. In both cases, improvements that come "for free" should be done without thinking, but one they start to impact readability, we should consider how beneficial those changes really are.

If you don't know what you are building, any action is premature.
