The key in optimizing applications is to find out where the real bottlenecks are, Goldstein explains. More often than not, where you think the bottleneck is, it s really wrong. The bottleneck is somewhere else. And the only way you can find that out is with a tool to instrument and dig out that data. You can t rely on your intuition or something else to tell you where the bottleneck is.
Intuition is very often wrong when it comes to optimization.
You need an automatic tool to do that. That is what we were trying to get across in those meetings. Goldstein concludes, We are pretty much in the new believer category. We can t say we ve been using NuMega tools for years on end already. But we can honestly say we think these tools are great.
