- cHalgan 15y agoExactly. All these claim memory is "cheap" are misguided. The hardest thing is optimizing your program for appropriate usage of non-CPU resources (inter-processor communication, memory, disk, etc.).
- mark_l_watson 15y agoCorrect. I admit to spending lots of time looking over the programming language shootout benchmarks, and memory use is almost as interesting as the execution time.
