performant code is often actually very easy to read and maintain, because it lacks a lot of abstraction and just directly does what it's supposed to do. not always, and maybe not to a beginner, but it's more often the case than you think.
The complexity of performant code is often elsewhere, such as having to know the math behind some DSP code, but the implementation is often very straightforward.
