High performance systems are where these kinds of optimisations make the most difference.

If most of your overhead is due to the low performance of the language/runtime you're using, these kinds of optimisations won't make as much of a difference. That is, if you can even implement them at all. I mean, good luck trying to use memory pools and manual memory management in Python or Javascript.
