#140098 - Make it right, then make it fast Responding to: ???'s previous message |
It's an old motto, but I like it. I would always start development with a priority on clean, easy to read code. With experience, the correct overall approach should give respectable performance. It's only when performance does not meet some requirements that I would selectively optimise critical sections. If you can't identify the critical sections, applying global optimisations isn't going to give you a better design. |
