Most of GRASS' performance issues arise from the fact that code
simplicity takes precedence over perfomance.

Writing optimised code requires a fair amount of effort, and
maintaining optimised code is even worse. Consequently, most of GRASS
is written without even basic optimisations, let alone more extreme
measures such as using a GPU as a co-processor.
