That is a great point.

A well defined and designed application or library can always be refined and optimized for speed.

A poorly designed app that runs fast rarely ever gets refactored into a decent design that works well with other software. I mean, look at the Wintendo family of products from Microsoft.

I think X11 dodged a bullet, really.
