You are right here. In a commercial application development it may
yield more profit if you have a short development time (less money to
pay for the developer) resulting in a more "raw" code (cut the
optimization step, don't think about complexities, ...) with higher
hardware requirements. This won't work if even the more perfect
version is a CPU hog. This more "raw" version of the code will also
likely contain more general bugs.
