Optimization: Your Worst Enemy
I've stumbled across this article on CodeProject, and it was such an excelent read that I couldnt resist sharing it with you guys...
Linky [wink]
I always liked the example of conflicting optimisations Martin Fowler gave of two different groups of Java VM implementors:
Quote:Craig Larman really brought this home
when he told me about some comments
he received after a talk at
JavaOne about optimization in Java.
One builder of an optimizing virtual
machine said, in effect, “The comments
about thread pools were good,
but you shouldn’t use object pools because
they will slow down our VM.”
Then another VM builder said, “The
comments about object pools were
good, but you shouldn’t use thread
pools because they slow down our VM.”
