Rob Pike compiled an very smart and general set of rules about this topic: http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~adnan/pike.html Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming Rule 1. You can't tell where a program is going to spend its time. Bottlenecks occur in surprising places, so don't try to second guess and put in...

When I started programming I also asked this question at some point. The most common answer is the one you allready got: "Don't worry about it until it happens and then tweak your program." This is very true and also reflects my experience in some cases. But it is only half the truth. This...
