dragonchild,
I agree with your sentiment but not the conclusions some might draw from it. It could be argued that what you are saying is tantamount to It does not matter how inefficient the code you write is. It is not necessary to understand the complexities of algorithms, data structures, profiling, or benchmarking. It is only important to write code as fast as possible that does the job because CPU time is less expensive. In my opinion, it is much better to teach someone to think for themself in determining when and where to spend their time (optimizing or not) than to give them more dogma to follow blindly and mantras to chant to bring more into the fold. Cheers - L~R In reply to Re: CPU cycles DO NOT MATTER!
