A lot of our developer resources are going to focus on performance, but also on workflow and creative capability. I am curious though what your reaction would be if we ditched the workflow and creative stuff for 2014, and put ALL of our resources on nothing but making After Effects killer fast. Great!, good, bad, ugly?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>My knee-jerk reaction is, \u201cOf course, make everything faster!\u201d How important that is, however, varies case by case. Do I need my iPhone to be faster\u2014or would I trade away additional speed to get better battery life? And of course \u201cfaster\u201d depends on much more than operations per second: I\u2019d generally prefer an app that asks me to perform fewer steps en route to a result, even if those steps are a bit slower to calculate.
