I have techniques that are easy to implement and are by no means premature. People who always tell me "premature optimization" are clearly wrong. Obvious best practices are not premature optimization.
I'm running GoFish on a large project. Code is being executed over 200,000 times. I reworked the first few lines of Procedure SearchInTable and easily saved 5 seconds. One of those improvements alone was 600% better. Donald Knuth is often taken out of context with the premature optimization quote. He also said a 12% improvement would be accepted by all other industries except programmers.
