No matter what language they're programming in, developers always wish  things would run faster! Especially when writing mission-critical  applications, no one wants to be limited by the programming environment.Java Performance Tuning provides all the details you need to know  to "performance tune" any type of Java program and make Java code run  significantly faster.Java Performance Tuning contains step-by-step instructions on all  aspects  of the performance tuning process, right from such early considerations as  setting goals, measuring performance, and choosing a compiler.  Extensive examples for tuning many parts of an application are described in  detail, and any pitfalls are identified. The book also provides performance  tuning checklists that enable developers to make their tuning as  comprehensive as possible.Java Performance Tuning is a book to help you "roll up  your sleeves" and examine your code in detail in order to apply different  tuning techniques to produce the best possible result.The book shows you how to:Create and plan a tuning strategyAvoid performance penalties from inefficient codeMinimize the number of objects a program createsImprove the behavior of loops and switchesUse threads effectively
