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.
