Hey all!
Since i started my Computer Science study, i've been beginning to
feel more and more
guilty about taking up so much CPU cycles.
Obviously, this should not be a limit to what i write, but the
question i'd like to ask is:
What do the programmers here do, to make their applications as
optimized as possible?
Worry about getting them to work right first, because if it doesn't
work right it doesn't matter how fast it is (trivial to make a O(1)
program that produces the wrong results).
Only then should you worry about optimizing.
Use various profiler tools (from Shark to Quartz Debug) and see what
parts are actually the bottle neck - no point in spending time
speeding up a chunk of code executed only once.
