gollark: <@236628809158230018> I can understand not knowing things or not knowing where the manual is, but some silly triangles refuse to read perfectly good docs.
gollark: I generally don't optimize far enough to do that sort of thing, but I do like to at least try and not waste memory and too many CPU cycles.
gollark: It's a bit wasteful to go creating a bunch of tables and functions and iterate over the entire list of peripherals and whatnot every peripheral call.
gollark: In the case when it does error performance isn't a huge issue. If it doesn't, it does matter if it is slow.
