How do you measure doubling of knowledge?

Or is the speed penalty simply less apparent? It may be possible to double knowledge and NPS at the same time. >How much attention should a programmer give to lowering the EBF of his program >versus adding more knowledge? Just pick a single move. EBF is one. In other words, any reduction in EBF must be smart or it may do more harm than good. >I'm curious about the different opinions programmers have on this topic.
