BINGO!
Now: If you have a program X that produces correct output, and a
program Y that produces no output, you will notice the defect in Y
the first time you run it. You will then modify Y to produce Z, which
runs and produces the correct output.
Question: How fast must Z be to ensure that the combined running
time of Y plus Z is less than that of X?
... and that's what I mean about the "price" of efficiency. The
single unproductive run of Y has already dissipated more time than
the X minus Z speedup can recoup.
