The developers seem totally clueless about performance issues. There is a constant focus on new functions, and none on performance and response times.
Much is now being done to remedy performance problems -- so I do believe what you said is needlessly rude (even if there is a grain of truth to it). This is an issue that has crept up upon the developers as new features were added -- many of which were asked for by the users.
Software development seems to often work a lot like article development -- many new things are added by different people, but after a point the software or article needs to be heavily edited and reorganized to resore efficiency and flow (although, admittedly, the php software never was /very/ efficient to my recollection -- it still rocks though).
