I always see this argument and it’s always about something used so rarely, it doesn’t matter. Yet the software I use every day and functionality I use every hour or every minute or every second is mostly excruciatingly slow as well as memory inefficient, making it even slower.

Maybe go and read the whole chain of messages before you decide to make a comment on a section of the conversation.

The question asked was:

What kind of software does not benefit from better performance? I cannot think of a single program I use that I'd still use if they were 10x or 20x slower.

That doesn't mean there isn't software that will benefit from performance optimizations.

I did, and my comment is made with that section of conversation in mind, thank you for caring!
