My position is based in pragmatism. Code that works and is delivered in time is often more desirable than code that works, is fast, but delivered late. There's always a cost-benefit tradeoff to be made and if warm…
Quite right, but if you ship software to customers you'd have to profile on a variety of CPUs or risk regressing on other models. Profiling on recent Intel x86_64 CPUs gave me the (perhaps false) impression TFA author…
Feel free to dismiss what you already know, I am sure the world would be a better place if everyone was as wise as you.
"Page align everything" by convention is in fact a form of optimization without profiling. TFA explains in detail why this is yet another bad idea, perhaps you read something in my comment I did not write?
