Another Helpful Household Hint is to always insert spurious delay statements
in any new body of code. That way, when your users start complaining about
the performance that is beyond your control, you can at least immediately
take out the delay statements and say "Well I got you a 25% improvement with
some quick code changes - be patient and I'll keep working on the harder
problems..." Then, of course, you do nothing and wait for the next
generation of hardware to come along and fix your problems for you. :-)
