Troubleshooting and Optimization
In LinuxDevCenter.com: Tales of Optimization and Troubleshooting [Jun. 03, 2004], Howard Feldman presents three examples of troubleshooting and fixing bottlenecks.
One thing I really like about this article is the methodical way the author goes about solving these problems. Having tried to teach troubleshooting to entry-level programmers, I know that it is very hard to get them to walk through the problem. Most inexperienced developers (and some experienced ones), want to jump immediately to a solution without doing the drudge work described here.
The author does a great job of showing how you measure the problem, and then think about the problem to solve it. Too many people try to make a quick fix based on too little information.
