I think that a background in low level programming is great for understanding some basics of performance tradeoffs.
Eg; iterating through a loop a few tens of iterations, is still far faster than doing any I/O.
One thing that hits app performance is the deep stack depths with all the OO calls, but modern compilers (& runtimes like JVMs) can mitigate that quite a lot with aggressive inlining.
