Yes. Which is a bit different. Personally I try to avoid that also.
Among other things you might get a problem of buried meaning. Usually I
code first for correctness and clarity. Then if I get a performance
bottleneck, I go in, but only after measuring actual performance.

But also I usually don't do intense mathematical algorithms, so that may
be another factor.
