at least 100x slower than it needs to be?

 help



Easily. Lots of things can take 3ms that actually take 300ms. Happens all the time.

what's an example?

A poorly written SQL query, an algorithm on large data sets using suboptimal bigO, the Home Depot or Lowe's website search bars, etc

good examples, i agree
