I spent probably the first 6 or 7 years doing this, the period some people consider to be my 'best' work*, without really having any understanding of this either, instead just by looking at what accesses were being made and going from there.
Likewise, I don't really consider myself to be a good programmer, and if some of the devs are to be believed, I'm even worse than that.
Plenty more people could be doing this than actually are, it's all about putting in the effort to overcome other shortcomings.
* which is infuriating when you try telling people that, and how much things have improved, but all you get is "lalala, not listening, MAME2003 is the best"
