LOL - this is kind of weird - it was working, nobody complained, you fiddled
with it to make it faster, (just because you could, not because you had to, or
were asked to), it became faster, and then, suddenly, retrospectively,
it became a problem ????

Would it have been no problem if it so happened that you were unable to make it
go faster?

I don't really follow that logic - but then I have never believed that I could
change yesterday...
