Something I was thinking about from last night's CFUG meeting in Melbourne.

Alot of things about performance were brought up, particularly in view of SQL 
(thanks Steve for that interesting tidbit).

What came to me as I was driving home last night was that if you really want to 
get into performace issues - you can't go past doing some reading in basic 
algorithm and data structure analysis and design.

Simply understanding how certain data structures work, which search functions 
are faster than others, and why, makes a huge difference in the way you write 
your code.

It also means you may find yourself writing less and less of those horrid nested 
loop statements... (O(n�) or worse O(n�) - for those in the know.. if I remember 
stuff still)

Just an extra 2c I thought I would throw in the pot ;o)
