> until you get into the millions of records per second level, you're almost never benefited Yeah, but the software landscape is very diverse. On my job (CAM/CAE) I often handle data structures with gigabytes of data. Worse, unlike e.g. multimedia frameworks many algorithms operating on these numbers are global i.e. can’t be represented as a pipeline which splits data into independent chunks and processes them sequentially. Making performance critical functions twice as fast might saves hours of time for a single end user in a single day.
