Same. I generally write in C without too many layers between my code and the CPU, and it is just incredible how fast modern CPUs are with naive code that doesn't even attempt to be optimal.

I wish others understood that, because the things I work on are losing performance (and a massive amount of developer time, which could be used for optimization or other useful work) to excess complexity, not too simplistic code.
