You know the silly thing is that writing good code is faster than writing bad 
code. Breaking things down into small pieces makes it easier to code, not 
harder and that, on the average, 70% of the work on a piece of code is going to 
be in maintenance. Writing unstructured monolith code just ends up taking more 
time. 

If you apply that to unnormalized databases and the time difference is unreal.
