Profile and Improve Performance
Write your code to be simple and readable, especially for the first implementation. Code that is prematurely optimized can be unnecessarily complex without providing a significant gain in performance. Then, if speed is an issue, you can measure how long your code takes to run and profile your code to identify bottlenecks. If necessary, you can take steps to improve performance.
