Then again how much time do computers save?

Washing machines and fridges freed up a ton of time for people. Maybe computers as well, then again maybe they just entertain.

My personal anecdata, I was recently investigating some page load timeouts for my client and this lead me down a rabbit hole which in the end meant moving a WHERE clause from outer query to an inner one and sped up the query 100k times.

Based on slow query log stats it eliminated 25h of human waiting per day.
