@irene but that isn't premature optimization.

What you're talking about is optimization when it should be done, that's quite mature :p

Scott Meyers talked about this quote in his talk 'Things that matter'.
"premature optimization that doesn't cost anything extra isn't evil, it's good..."

It's an entertaining and informative talk.

@irene premature optimisation is not about choosing a proper algo. On the contrary, premature optimisation is bad because the right algo choice yields much more gain and without making the code messy.
