Indeed, beemr has hit upon the issue of premature optimization, an antipattern in software design. If you worry too much about speed at the outset, you're probably going to sacrifice maintainability and extensability for it. It's a better practice to start with something that's a little slow but easy to modify so that you can rapid prototype many approaches to the same problem. When you've hit upon the optimal solution, you can run some metrics and figure out where your greatest speedup will be and focus on that at the end.
