Beauty of scale. Saving ten milliseconds a hundred times is just a second. But do it a billion times and you've shaved off ~4 months.

If you work at Google or whatever else is popular or monopolistic this week.
In most real jobs those ten milliseconds will add up to what, 5 seconds to a minute?
There is probably a non-linear function of how slow your software is to how many users will put-up with it.
Those 10 ms may quite well mean the difference between success and failure... or they may be completely irrelevant. I don't know if this is knowable.
There is. But what the OP is doing is not that, it's "scaling". Which probably makes sense for whatever they're working on*. For the other 99% of projects, it doesn't.
* ... if they're at ClosedAI or Facebook or something. If they're at some startup selling "AI" solutions that has 10 customers, it may be wishful thinking that they'll reach ClosedAI levels of usage.
