at least 100x slower than it needs to be?

Easily. Lots of things can take 3ms that actually take 300ms. Happens all the time.
what's an example?
A poorly written SQL query, an algorithm on large data sets using suboptimal bigO, the Home Depot or Lowe's website search bars, etc
good examples, i agree
