I'm wondering if those that want more speed at the expense of everything else are familiar with Blinn's Law.

I would much rather have a balanced approach, for all users, towards any improvement in AE development. For myself, I would prefer to have more development effort set for the creative aspect since that is what we use AE for. Speed enhancements can already be had with a faster CPU, GPU, HDD, more/faster RAM and effectively utilizing AE's myriad of preview/render options and their respective settings.

In short, why delimit your favorite creative tool for something that you can already have, via an alternative route?  Additionally, there is a high probability that you will quite quickly use up any future benefit, marginal or otherwise, to only create something that you can already do today.
