Very nice, and all good advice.
To this I would like to add a couple of more relevant links
off of my home page. First of all
Code Complete has a sample chapter online on
Optimization
that is worth reading. Secondly those who want to get into
great depth on how to design web-servers and network
protocols for maximum performance may find many things of
interest in The C10K
Problem. Another good reference is this rant on
Latency
vs bandwidth. Many slow applications are slow because of
heavy duty interactions across something with bad latency,
and not because of lack of bandwidth.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
