Subtopic: performance testing up

Quote: discover timing, storage, and I/O problems at the end of the development cycle; may require a major redesign and a 100-percent overrun [»roycWW8_1970]
Quote: periodically stop development for a week to analyze and resolve performance problems; otherwise minor performance losses will accumulate [»colwRP_2006]

Subtopic: memory management up

Quote: memory management changes runtimes dramatically but users have little control [»kernBW7_1998]

Subtopic: benchmarks up

Quote: compared standalone embedded systems written in C with the SpecInt95 benchmark (go, lisp, jpeg, etc.) [»engbJ5_1999]

Subtopic: difficulties of benchmarking up

Quote: do not take benchmarks at face value
Quote: compared speed of scripting and user-interface languages; enormous variation [»kernBW7_1998]
Quote: timing services are woefully inadequate, even for computational tasks [»kernBW7_1998]
Quote: can not charge startup costs consistently; depends on dynamically loaded code
[»kernBW7_1998]
