“The entire bottleneck concept is not geared to decrease operating expense, it’s focused on increasing throughput.”

— Eliyahu M. Goldratt

Bottlenecks are usually at the tops of bottles.

— Ed Bliss

Code should run as fast as necessary, but no faster; something important is always traded away to increase speed.

— Richard E. Pattis

Once you succeed in writing the programs for [these] complicated algorithms, they usually run extremely fast. The computer doesn't need to understand the algorithm,…

— Robert Tarjan

Make the bottlenecks work only on what will contribute to throughput today … not nine months from now. That’s one way to increase capacity…

— Eliyahu M. Goldratt

Getting C programmers to understand that they cause the computer to do less than minimum is intractable. … Ask him why he thinks he…

The bottleneck is never code or creativity; it's lack of clarity.

— Scott Berkun

PHP is rarely the bottleneck.

— Rasmus Lerdorf

“More than half of application performance bottlenecks originate in the database”

— Vlad Mihalcea

The cleaner and nicer the program, the faster it's going to run. And if it doesn't, it'll be easy to make it fast.

— Joshua Bloch

Programmer time is expensive; conserve it in preference to machine time
