Evidence based approaches 12/11/2011:13:26:08

Some people optimise code by guesswork, which is possibly why a lot of people recite "premature optimisation is the root of all evil". There is no good way past the obvious platform specific hints to optimise a codebase unless you first know how much time is being spent where. You must profile. You must gather data.
