right.

one thing to remember about optimizations is to put your effort where you
need it most. for example, in my apps that's always been in the database
queries. so i have logging techniques that allow me to run pareto analyses
on query timing data and use that to direct my efforts.

spending a couple of weeks optimizing malloc(), a surprisingly popular
activity, is seldom worth it.
