Assume a number, N, controls/defines the size of a data set (for example N represents number of images which the program stores internally). Just now I am guessing a number, N, which I experience make my computer run the program the best way. However, when I change computer, I have to guess again :-)

You sure your algorithm could do a better job than the operating system 
in which your compiled programs run?
