Clarence's code may not prove a useful case for optimizing others given
the unusual constraints he needs to work within.
But if optimization techniques are your thing, this is perhaps the best

It's five pages long, and better reading that many novels. Take your
time, it's an enjoyable thread, a story of an algo that originally took
9 minutes getting pared down shorter and shorter on each page from
various members of the community until eventually it's completed in just
a few milliseconds.
