So I've got this J2EE application (which for the sake of disclosure is
all servlets and jsp, no ejb). And I find myself optimizing things at
the "get rid of concatted strings" level (i.e. no "foo"+"bar"). I
mention this to a friend who goes into a rant on how programmers
shouldn't do this anymore because it just doesnt matter, the compiler
does it all for you.
Thoughts? Do you still optimize when you're writing "enterprise apps"
(I'm ruling out the obvious cases of realtime systems, games, and
others where size/speed optimizations could be absoutely critical)?
At what point do you say screw it, I'm not getting enough bang for my
buck at this level, I'll let the compiler handle it?
