I would much prefer to be accused of channeling Steve McConnell than Joel Spolsky. http://www.stevemcconnell.com/cctune.htm Until you know that you have a performance problem, don't try to blindly improve performance. Once you know that you have a performance problem, profile to discover where the performance problem actually is before starting to try to fix it. If you're trying to optimize blindly the only thing I can guarantee is that your code will be harder to maintain. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
