"Premature optimization is the root of all evil." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_optimization <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_optimization>If you need to include a big library to do a task, and it's cached, so what? Why are you trying to write fast code that doesn't need caching? That's not necessarily sloppy code. And sloppy code is often very fast. Heck, function calls are slower than cutting and pasting duplicate code. And a class hierarchy has lots of "inefficiencies", but saving a few CPU cycles is not a worthwhile trade-off most of the time. IMHO, of course.
