I once sped up a very suboptimal routine that from ~100s to ~.1s (it was doing database lookups in a for loop), and that broke the reporting system because the original author had made several asynchronous function calls and assumed they would have all finished running by the time the (formerly) slow routine was done. Figuring out exactly what happened took forever.
