I've had a few cases where I've had to implement work-arounds because
implementation choices in specific implementations of the standard
libraries gave order-of-magnitude slow-downs.
But except for those very few cases - and even in those cases, really -
I've been very happy with working on the high abstraction level until
specific issues showed up.

Same here. But it sounds like the reference manual itself might also be
a valuable learning resource in this specific case.
