The curve going from simple to complex is a hump, where the y axis is quality. Highest quality code comes from the simplest code that can accommodate new feautres or chages of current features without a lot of pain and without increasing the cost of maintenance.

Then, performance optimizations magically appear. Then, and only then, you should do them.
