Would someone be good enough to explain the meaning of the word "segments"
in following paragraphs?

"...proper code segmentation is critical to achieving optimum performance.

If your application segments are too large, your application may not
perform well (or to run at all) when large contiguous blocks of memory are
not available. Conversely, if your application segments are too small,
performance may be hindered by the overhead required to find and load
resources too frequently.

Unfortunately, it impossible to specify a single size for memory chunks
that will perform optimally for all applications. You will need to
experiment with segmenting your code in different ways while measuring your
application�s performance in order to discover the size and arrangement of
resource chunks that will optimize your particular application�s
responsiveness and overall
performance."
