They're not separate at all. Development time is always limited. You
achieve the best runtime efficiency by focusing that development time
where it can do the most good. Disregarding this by trying to optimize
every piece of code in your app makes your app slower because you
won't have time to do a good job on every piece of code in your app,
not even close.
