&gt;You need to find out where you bottlenecks are, what system
&gt;performance characteristics are constraining your _perceived_
&gt;perfomance, and what the relative sources and values of those two
&gt;things are.  Once you know the parameters of your problem, you can
&gt;then selectively handle *that* and know that you will actually resolve
&gt;the problem.
&gt;
&gt;Early initial interesting values:

&lt;...many excelent questions snipped...&gt;

I'm in a slightly different boat from Matt (diablo).  I understood about
90% of those questions, but I have only a vauge idea of how to go about
finding out the answers.  You listed a few utils in the last section, JC,
but for the most part I'd be stumped on how to go about checking these
potential problems.  Would it be possible to generate a list of
utils/methods for checking these things?  It seems like adding this list to
the FAQ / web page would be most usefull.

On a side note, does anyone know of any good, free profilers, for linux or
Win9x?
