Sprüche zur Optimierung

(so zitiert in J. Bloch: Effective Java)

More computing sins are committed in the name of efficiency (without necessarily achieving it) than for any other single reason – including blind stupidity. - W. A. Wulf

We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. - Donald E. Knuth

We follow two rules in the matter of optimization:

• Rule 1. Don’t do it.
• Rule 2 (for experts only). Don’t do it yet – that is, not until you have a perfectly clear and unoptimized solution.

- M.A. Jackson
