Donald Knuth’s famous dictum:

We should forget about small efficiencies, say, about 97% of the time: Premature
optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in
that critical 3%. A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such
reasoning, he will be wise to look carefully at the critical code; but only after that
code has been identified.
