In general, yes, but it's not where you start :-)
Unless you know the performance killers before you start, you'll
usually find out about them during testing - it makes absolutely no
sense to sacrifice the quality of all the code for eventual speed
bottlenecks. It's usually enough to introduce some (possibly ugly) fast
paths afterwards.
Of course, parameter checking can often be done by an ASSERT macro to
not have it in production code, but that's only true for code that's
completely under your control.
Bye,
Axel.
