That is the third side of this debate. Planning for the future. Sure the code is fast today but what happens when you double the data set? triple? a thousand times bigger?
Now you have a massive scaling problem and probably 9/10 apps would crumble under such increases and need to be rethought with the new larger dataset in mind.
Time vs Efficency vs what if?
