Performance is a symptom of architecture, and architecture *is* the early stage.

They're somewhat parallel problems, although the architecture will
inform the API design substantially.
If you don't understand your architecture up front, then you'll likely
just write a typical ordinary thing, and then it doesn't matter what
the API looks like; someone will always feel compelled to re-write a
mediocre library.
I think it's possible to check both boxes, but it begins with
architectural concerns. That doesn't work as an afterthought... (or
you get Unity, or [insert library that you're not satisfied with])
