It's cheaper to buy faster computers nowadays. Code optimization for speed and size is a lost art as the programming world is filled with layers and layers of libraries and frameworks nobody knows what happens under the covers.
- pbourke 6y agoSometimes it’s not possible to buy your way out of the problem with better hardware. If the issue is locking, or inefficient data structures, or interpreter overhead then there will be a floor to your gains. That floor might be quite high, and throwing hardware $$$ at it might not lower the floor by much. Web browsers can be pigs on core i5’s and monster Threadrippers.
