When it comes to optimization, there are 3 rules: profile, profile, profile. I used to heavily hand-"optimize" my code a lot (I come from a strong C/C++ background -- premature optimization seems to be a common malady among us in that crowd).
That's why I always tell that C++ is premature optimization oriented programming, aka as POOP.
