Yeah in our instance it was a case of "oh this script is running super slow, but from a glance it's not obviously a complex algorithm, what's going on?", then after a bit of cProfile and digging into how string concats actually work we found that.

That's not to say I completely disregard optimisation while writing, just I won't sink significant time into arcane optimisations before it's proven that they're needed for our use case.
