Why should I optimize my code? To save 420ms for what?

I dunno. I try to optimize everything in life, maybe it's the engineer in me (I find it fun and interesting how people do things inefficiently). I also try and measure ingredients exactly (e.g. 420g of flour, not 419g or 421g), however that might be some low form of OCD. /shrug

Whether I use that extra time or not doesn't really matter for me.
