Analyzing Target Areas
The next two sections go deeper into the mechanics of the second step of the optimization process: analyzing the candidate areas and selecting targets for optimization.
Design Flaws, Faulty Algorithms, and Bugs
When the information of step 1 is available (profiler data, problem analysis, and so on), it is prudent to have another look at the design. In essence, compare the timing information found in step 1 with that estimated at design time. Questions to consider include, Which parts of the system were expected to be slow? and How slow were they expected to be? It now becomes even more clear how important quantifiable requirements and design estimations are (refer to Chapter 2, "Creating a New System"). Time previously ...
