Percentages are for suckers. If you're not optimizing your code with actual use cases then you're just wasting your time. Id say 90 percent of code any one would ever write would not provide any benefit if it "ran faster".
No one will ever know or care that a 5ms operation only takes 2ms because of how "savvy" you are. No one knows or cares what language you used. Its just a program.
If you can produce a working program in a high level language but chose to use a low level one.... whyy?
- nemasu 13y agoSo you're basically saying "why do anything without a valid reason"?
- LnxPrgr3 13y agoDepends on the context. If your operation is relaying a 20ms audio packet from one side of a call to another, 50µs to 20µs is the difference between handling 200 concurrent calls and handling 500 (per CPU, minus non-linear scaling with increasing CPUs and other overhead). Unlike the cost of hardware, which every customer would have to buy separately, the development cost can be spread out over many customers. If $50,000 of developer effort can save 50 customers $1000 on hardware, you've already broken even in a sense.
