    That is a good general purpose estimate. It's not a must or anything tho.

    Yes. Do they matter for your purpose? Probably not.

    It isn't like you'll double the performance overnight. If you really need
    performance, work top-down. There's much you can do but no general rule
    on what you should do (otherwise we'd've made that the default long ago).
