I'm working on the (naive?) assumption that sysops care about performance too.
Wouldn't that be violating the "don't worry about performance" guideline? :)

Hey, wow. Thanks. :)
I was going to raise that point... but I figured I'd catch Tim in IRC.
In any case, I agree here.. the issue is that for every valid case where it might be good to be performance minded there are 10 other cases where people will use uninformed performance oriented arguments to support whatever policy measure they prefer... The end result is a lot of silly actions in the name of performance .. or a lot of needless performance questions. :)
