[Matt Croydon] Yesterday Mike Sax wrote a great entry about a concept that I was not familiar with previously, extreme optimization: My brother Jeffrey has started a new consulting business, based on the concept of Extreme Optimization. To illustrate a few extreme optimization techniques, he wrote a Code Project article that looks at the problem of mapping an IP address to a country code. He takes already optimized C# code and applies Extreme Optimization, reducing memory requirements from 10MB to only 3MB, and making it 13 times faster! The article and all the C# source is on Code Project.
