It's not a useful architecture, but it teaches the thought process really well, and you end up discovering a lot of optimization naturally.
For this article, I'm measuring every step to see what the performance implications of the changes are, which, along with some educated guesses and some googling/reading other articles, was enough for me to figure out what was going on.
In part two (https://owen.cafe/posts/the-same-speed-as-c/) especially, I didn't know what was going on with the benchmarks for a long time. Eventually I got lucky and made a change, which led to a hypothesis, which lead to more tests, which led to a conclusion.
