I had some plonker try and tell me 'loop unrolling' was a good way to up the speed of this application we were looking at.
I enquired if they'd ever actually really tried it... Of course not.
So with my "let me show you what experience is" hat on, flicked the compile flag, recompiled, run, and, lo and behold, it slowed everything right down.
Turned out it was some tulip they were taught on their degree about improving performance.
Give me strength! They don't half teach some flipping rubbish on these computer science courses.
