I can't just furiously type in code. It would be ridiculous for me to
optimize for the coding case where I spend the least amount of time.
By using C, I optimize the case where most of the time is spent.

Well said!
Even for my day-time programming (mostly not CPU-time limited code),
thinking about how solve the problem at hand takes more time than
the actual coding.
