Knowledge acquisition should drive any related efforts and it should start as early as possible and be archived so that others can understand the context for various technical decisions that impact scalability, reliability and performance.

This then means the developers of those particular areas can then concentrate on producing good performing code. Less performance critical code areas can be given to junior programmers etc. Charlie

I've had the opportunity to be involved in both, and there are no single bullet solution. The decision often boils down to cost, time-lines, and other external factors that influence the project. Just to add my two cent!
