Title: Re: are static operations optimized?
Specialized and scientific applications aside, perhaps it’s best to get back to original poster’s question (which clearly wasn’t in this league). A good solid recommendation for everyone is to code to a good architecture, profile and solve only those problems that arise. Given that the OP was asking a quite elementary question about optimizations, it’s highly unlikely they are coding a math library for scientific applications. This fact seems to have been lost here, as people are swarming to justify their coding acuity.
As a person who has managed large teams of software developers for a number of years, I can say with confidence that the tendency to chase intuition and hunches on performance issues is widespread. And the desire to rapidly rush to solutions unrelated to the actual problem is equally common. Especially if it allows the coder to demonstrate their skill, creativity, or ingenuity to their colleagues. The responses to this thread alone demonstrate this in spades.
