C Speed Optimizations

C Speed Optimization Checklist

This is a list of general-purpose optimizations for C programs, from the most impactful to the tiniest low-level micro-optimizations to squeeze out every last bit of performance. It is meant to be read top-down as a checklist, with each item being a potential optimization to consider. Everything is in order of speed gain.

Algorithm && Data Structures

Choose the best algorithm and data structure for the problem at hand by evaluating:

Think twice about Wayland. It breaks everything!

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.


As 2024 is winding down:
