I read recently someone call something like this a hyperoptimization https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35431391

it's not really that either. it's a misoptimization. where you are optimizing the wrong part. which is why premature optimization is bad, because you are wasting your time optimizing something that doesn't matter.

hyper optimizing something implies all low hanging fruit has been picked.
