This seems like very sound advice. However this little bit of advice is missing something really important. How do you know when you need too optimise? All to often this is when a system is in production and not coping with customer load. If we are lucky major issues might be discovered during user testing right before launch. In either case we look bad in front of customers and those paying the bills.
