If you think software performance is a solved problem today, there is nothing more I have to say.

Consumer software is slower than ever. And only getting worse.

This is how you get faster software. You literally look “into” the code, see why stuff is slow, remove the extra work in the library that you do not need, and now your software has a faster server.
