XCode recommends optimizing for code size rather than optimizing for
speed. Has anyone done testing to determine that this is the best
optimization method for shipping a speedy application?
I suppose the reason is that the internet isn't any faster on a G5 but
applications sure run a whole lot faster. Go with what you want. Speed
or size?
And processors are now so fast that the bottleneck is often memory
access. Smaller size implies less memory access implies faster. And of
course even more so if swapping comes into play.
