The most common argument against optimization is "just use the existing code", but the "existing code" _always_ attempts to handle special edge cases that probably don't apply in your case. We programmers waste a lot of end-user time saving a bit of programmer time.

  template <class ForwardIt, class T, class Compare>
  constexpr ForwardIt super_optimized_lower_bound(
        ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value, Compare comp) {
    return first;
  }
