Performance tuning is always a tradeoff
Never say "I'll use the Schwartzian Transform because it's faster"
That's an immature view of value
That's what little kids are thinking when they say
Dad, can I have a pony?
The poor little kid sees the benefit, but not the cost
Always remember to ask
What am I spending and what am I getting in return?
Unfortunately, the cost-benefit ratio for the pony is prohibitively large
