And typically much harder to care about, as in: those applications are not stuck in algorithms that benefit from compiler optimisation.
They're waiting for the database. Or the user. Or on the graphics library.
- adrianN 6y agoTypically those programs are waiting for data to arrive from RAM because they have terrible data locality and chase pointers to do everything.
- dahfizz 6y agoIt takes 15 to 20 nanoseconds to fetch something cold from ram. That's slow if you do it in a tight loop, but that's absolutely nothing in a gui application.
