Let's stop there. "I haven't tested" translates to "premature optimization". Stop whatever you're doing and measure your task.

It's not surprised that you can't find a perfect solution to your imaginary problem. Find out exactly what your issue is first, then optimize. And don't expect to perfectly engineer a system from the ground up. It's OK to layer in new systems to optimize real bottlenecks in your application.
