OK, in your case fast enough is _really_ fast. No problem.
Then you need to tweak it. Tweaking isn't sinful. My problem is with
those who think they've got to squeeze every microsecond out of their
program, whether it's necessary or not, and then pay a very high price
in all the "-ility" factors.
A third bit of my folk wisdom:
(3) You gotta do what you gotta do.
