Efficiency

"Efficiency is measured by the difference between what is being done and what can be done. A Dutch woman in the long ago, for example, would sit with one foot on the spinning wheel or churn while with the other she rocked the cradle. With her hands she knitted socks for her husband, while on her knee rested a book from which she improved her mind through study.

"And all the while she sat upon a cheese, pressing it for market."
