CHAPTER 9: Performance

Chapter 9 Summary

9.1 improving execution speed

• Use pragma Inline when calling overhead is a significant portion of the routine's execution time.
• Use blocks to introduce late initialization (Guideline 5.6.9).
• Remove blocks that introduce overhead.
• Use constrained arrays.
• Use zero based indexing for arrays.
• Use incremental schemes instead of the mod and rem operators when possible.
• Use strong typing with carefully selected constraints to reduce runtime constraint checking.
