How does the rant go?

Don't prematurely optimize!
Don't prematurely optimize!
Don't prematurely optimize!

Instead modularize your code and after the fact, if it matters, you are in a position to recognize the big scale issues and redesign. Optimizing your operations won't give you order of magnitude improvements. Fixing your algorithms will.
