Working on performance improvements costs developer time, and that is a precious resource.
This is assuming that the developers whose time you have to your disposition are all equally interested in various things. I, for example, am interested in database optimisation, but not in profiling. This is why I discuss database optimisation, but not profiling.
Sure, it's possible to put a lot of effort into something that yields very little improvement, but, y'know, why?
Similarly: Why not? - seeing as I'm not going to help with the profiling either way, I might as well help with the database optimisation.
