blazar's take on premature optimization

From a IM chat with a fellow programmer:

I got a mail saying: "If you have performace problems, but also if you want to give her hours of intense intercourse..."
I suppose it refers to a tool to optimize an application.

(the original was in Italian, the translation is mine. The whole joke sounded slightly better with this part in Italian.)

My comment:

premature eja^Woptimization is the root of all evil.
