Introduction Tavish Armstrong

Its commonplace to say that computer hardware is now so fast that mostdevelopers dont have to worry about performance. In fact, DouglasCrockford declined to write a chapter for this book for that reason:

If I were to write a chapter, it would be about anti-performance: mosteffort spent in pursuit of performance is wasted. I dont think thatis what you are looking for.

Donald Knuth made the same point thirty years ago:

We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time:premature optimization is the root of all evil.

but between mobile devices with limited power and memory, and dataanalysis projects that need to process terabytes, a growing number ofdevelopers do need to make their code faster, their data structuressmaller, and their response times shorter. However, while hundreds oftextbooks explain the basics of operating systems, networks, computergraphics, and databases, few (if any) explain how to find and fix thingsin real applications that are simply too damn slow.

This collection of case studies is our attempt to fill that gap. Eachchapter is written by real developers who have had to make an existingsystem faster or who had to design something to be fast in the firstplace. They cover many different kinds of software and performancegoals; what they have in common is a detailed understanding of whatactually happens when, and how the different parts of large applicationsfit together. Our hope is that this book willlike its predecessor TheArchitecture of Open Source Applicationshelp you become a betterdeveloper by letting you look over these experts shoulders.
