Can you find a measurable difference between 'optimised' and 'non-optimised'
code, these days?
I/O, yes.
CPU, no.
I disagree. Software CPU optimization is an area of intense focus right
now. Compilers, in general, are able to optimize more effectively now
than at any other time in history. And, for our platform in particular,
the compiler writers have evolved processor pipeline optimization to an
art form. The rules keep changing. And, they keep adapting; squeezing
every last bit of performance possible out of the machine!
