[snipping the good stuff...]

I was being just _teensy_ bit tongue-in-cheek.  

Implementation is a kind of formal proof of a design.  Once the holes in the
original design are encountered in the implementation attempt and patched
over, optimization is by then generally less important than shipping the
@#!$ thing, so that gets done in the next release.  

Maybe it's just me...
