On the one hand we have optimization on the design level, where certain objects exhibit similar behaviour and their is a general gravitation towards an 'elegant' single solution around a cluster of similarliy defined problems. On the other hand there is the machine specific, yoga type contortions that the machine you sit on demand you to perform before they relinquish those last bits of CPU cycles you so desperately crave. I generally follow these steps 1 Capture the problem set (requirements), 2 do a quick skeleton design 3 proof it with a mockup 4 update requirements 5 elegant design / optimization 6 implement 7 polish and release Note: cycles 4-7 gets repeated for a succesful product launch (success usually a requirement of need as opposed to an elegant design) my 2 cents :) - Lou Louai Munajim Architecture and Development www.bambookit.com
