That makes more sense, but I'm still not convinced. Even if Fusebox
apps were *twice as slow* as non-Fusebox, I think the trade-off is 
worthwhile.

I'm going to step out on a limb here and say that the efficiency of
code is no longer important, except in the form of abstract, 
reuasable components. 

As hardware gets cheaper, programmers get costlier, and code 
lifecycles get shorter, we need to adapt our methodologies to fit. 
And we need to train our decision makers to understand that, too.
