This quest for eliminating inefficiencies often creates a cycle in terms of products designed to eliminate them.

In the first stage, every individual efficiency (or a related group) will lend itself to a new application that significantly changes the equation.

However, as the number of these applications increase substantial efficiency benefits can be reaped by aggregating /replicating these functionalities in one place - sometimes even at the cost of a little inefficiency. But once these inefficiencies start paining a user segment, we start with step #1 all over again
