       The same way that students are taught to calculate what their theoretical yield should be in chemistry, CS students should be taught te calculato the theoretical  number of cycles any particular operation needs to perform, and then treat getting close to that as seriously as chemists do.Sometimes your performance will be low because of all the incidental crap you have to take care of. But for a lot of things we do on computers there just isn't any excuse.
