Nope for a start others need to maintain it, inefficiency is avoided but I don't think it's as massive a problem as people make out. Often the areas you think a inefficient are not so while other areas may be. Anything web based then bandwidth is probably your most precious resource which you need to optimise.
For example the optimisations we were doing on Month Hall would have no noticeable effect, if you were doing a website and sending too much kb to the client it would be very notable.
