"The Optimizing Compiler Writer's Motto: It
is no sin to make a wrong
program worse."
It is if the rules for which programs are wrong are essentially beyond
human comprehension on the fly. Anyway: "That program has about a
thousand bugs. Which would you rather, that we fixed all the bugs or
that we made it run a thousand times faster?"
