}- Measure First: Always profile before optimizing
- Optimize Bottlenecks: Focus on the slowest components
- Cache Wisely: Cache expensive computations, not cheap ones
- Batch Operations: Group similar operations together
- Use Appropriate Data Structures: Choose the right tool for the job
- Pool Resources: Use object pools for frequently allocated items
- Minimize Allocations: Reuse buffers and data structures
- Compress Large Data: Use compression for large payloads
- Monitor Memory Usage: Track allocation patterns
- Match Threading to Workload: CPU-bound vs I/O-bound considerations
- Avoid Lock Contention: Use lock-free data structures when possible
- Balance Load: Distribute work evenly across threads
- Handle Backpressure: Prevent memory exhaustion in pipelines
- Connection Pooling: Reuse network connections
- Batch Network Operations: Reduce round-trip overhead
- Async I/O: Use non-blocking I/O operations
- Buffer Sizing: Optimize buffer sizes for your workload
- Memory Leaks: Use memory profilers to identify leaks
- CPU Hotspots: Profile CPU usage to find bottlenecks
- Lock Contention: Monitor lock wait times
- I/O Blocking: Identify blocking I/O operations
- Network Latency: Measure network round-trip times
