Ah yes, the good ole Make Work Project, subcontracted under Job
Securities Inc..

Reminds me of my first job, where there were severe performance problems
with the system, and then we go in and find blatantly obvious ways of
improving it, like replacing O(n^2) algorithms with a trivial O(n) ones,
etc.. At one point we joked that sleep()'s were deliberately added to
the code so that later when the customer complains about performance we
just comment them out one at a time. :-P  Hey, it ensures customers
keep coming back to us, right?
