[Avodah] is hachana worth it??

[Harvey Benton]

who says the mitzvah is done better by more hachana??
eg the old time people in the gemmara would prepare for 

3 hours before davening.....
was this hachana better than learning (midoraisa vs. midora-
bonnan??)
also, what if you have to take o ff the tefilin right away to take care
of a crying baby (or go to the bathroom?)
by not doing the ikar mitzvah first, you might miss out.......... again
on the midoraisa.......and do something that is NOT EVEN a midaro-
banim (or is it??
