When is an optimization justified?
----------------------------------
-Normally, clean & simple optimizations on widely used codecs can achieve
-an overall speedup of 0.1%. These speedups accumulate and can make a big
-difference after awhile. Also, if none of the following factors get
-worse due to an optimization -- speed, binary code size, source size,
-source readability -- and at least one factor improves, then an
-optimization is always a good idea even if the overall gain is less than
-0.1%. For obscure codecs that are not often used, the goal is more
-toward keeping the code clean, small, and readable than to make it 1%
-faster.
