It is said that optimizing too early is the root of all evil. However it is not so easy to say when is the right time.
Looking at CiviCRM performance there are a number of instances where even on medium sized installations search queries take a long time to execute.
One of the searches that caught my eye is the AJAX search at the top left in the menu bar.
Returning a maximum of ten entries from a medium sized database (~50k records) should take negligible time and on the CiviCRM test data this request was taking around 3 seconds (putting full load on server).
