Not really, if you've had a short career your 'optimizations' are anything but.

Seriously, what you think is causing slowdowns will not be at all. Everything you'll be pushing for will save nanoseconds or 10s of milliseconds, pointless, unnecessary complications.

Generally in a crud app performance problems are caused by a single sql statement or a silly, unnecessary, loop within a loop.
