I don't think it's that simple when performance and memory usage are a 
concern.

It's easy to have abstractions that compose well when it comes to 
expressiveness, but it is not possible to abstract away the performance 
concerns of your program. Designing for efficiency requires a holistic 
approach that permeates through your whole program, making top/bottom 
separation essentially impossible.
