Lots of insightful points here, I learned a lot about things I didn't expect to be slow, and more in depth lessons for things I knew to be slow.

"I'm titling this post Surprisingly Slow because the slowness was either surprising to me or the sub-optimal practices leading to slowness are prevalent enough that I think many programmers would be surprised by their existence."
