But now I had to choose boring/fast over cool/slow and that makes me a little sad.

That would depend on why you're doing this. If its for fun, I'd go with cool. Cool is fun. Cool is rewarding. Cool is, well cool. And sometimes, cool teaches you things that boring doesn't. OTOH, if there's an eventual customer in mind then maybe boring/fast is the right decision.

Speaking of performance, what's the difference in speed we're talking here? Is the performance difference noticeable, or can you only really tell by running performance analysis. Are we talking micro-seconds in a real-world situation, or seconds, or even tens of seconds. If you're looking at less than 250/300 ms for a given work-load, maybe Cool/Fun is good enough. If the difference can be measured in eye-blinks, why be boring?
