Other commenters have elaborated as well, but to summmarize: hundreds of Ms on a dev machine a) does matter and b) is likely much much more in less than ideal computing environments, I disagree that the backend usually is where more time is spent (at least in maaaaany apps I have worked on) And re: specialized domains, I think most users of most software appreciate speed even if it isn’t a stated objective
