Are you talking about efficient use of your time (which moves inexorably
forward) or moving CPU cycles--which you've paid for--from active to idle?
My personal choice is to write stuff which I can understand, and which my
successor has a chance to understand.
(And I have a hard time remembering: cycle-squeezing was necessary when I
started with computers, although it was mother*, not I, who had to worry
about optimizing storage locations on the IBM 650 drum. I had to worry
about optimizing storage locations in the Librascope-General Precision
RPC-9000, where memory was magneto-strictive delay lines.)
