Exactly. Sometimes there's someone else on the road driving so badly that the safest thing to do is get away from them. It's much more difficult if you're on a road with lots of speed cameras and no cruise-control because then you have to stare at your speedometer.

High level languages are sold on the concept that customers' machines are powerful enough that the reduction in performance is worth it for the reduction in development time. For the same reason, it should be worthwhile to give developers powerful machines so they spend less time fixing runtime bugs.
