good != fast

for example, debuggable and non-desturctive-to-target-resource are other 
desirable characteristics. the debuggable one is especially important. 
Crippling the logging system to achieve faster execution is something that 
should be turned on, not off - that moves error reporting back to a 
boolean WRONG! style of reporting rather than the (I think) more useful 
stuff that we have at the moment. Likewise, pushing stuff up to the limit 
of what a site can handle (especially using GRAM2) is something that 
should be approached with caution and not by default.
