Re: QRCVDTAQ

There is a trade off.

Sometimes you can spend more time making a program efficent than the users will 
ever save when they use it.

If a program takes an extra hour to run over the course of a year but is easier 
to read and debug than it is a better program, IMO.

I try to write applications that are inefficient and make up for it with
more hardware. I'll put program calls in my code that call NO-OP programs
and use For/EndFor loops to 1,000,000 just to get that inefficient look and
feel.


<snip> This encourages - forces shops

to write overly efficient applications with the minimum of features
and accessibility.
