Interesting application. 

When coding, I try to focus more on the design of the program, and less on
the machine execution. More often than not it keeps my programs tidy and
readable. When performance is an issue, _then_ I profile and optimize. Not 
before.

Premature optimization is expensive. Focus on interface instead.
