I'd say about 1/3 of my working time is spent on performance-motivated stuff: re-writing things to be faster (or not as slow), experimenting to see if thngs /can/ run at reasonable speeds, finding workarounds (or at least excuses) when they can't... And I work with desktop to server-class machines. But those are mostly architectural issues -- maybe you mean something more like "performance problems caused by a uniformed/ill-advised use of the idioms of the language" ? -- chris
