No, the point of performance analysis is that you *can't* trust the
people that say "trust me on this one."

If you haven't got a benchmark where you can demonstrate a material
and repeatable difference, then you're just some Gentoo "speed racer"
making things up.

One  last  point  about metaphor,  poetry,   etc.   As  an example  to
illustrate these  capabilities  in   Sastric Sanskrit,    consider the
"bahuvrihi" construct (literally  "man with a  lot of rice") which  is
used currently  in   linguistics to  describe  references  outside  of
compounds.
