This second list has been chosen to correlate with the first list, however there is an important difference: The person using GNOME doesn't care about the second list, but they care a lot about the first list. When optimizing GNOME programs we will reduce CPU use, memory use and all those things, but these are the means to the end, not the final goal. We are optimizing for people."

Can the results of previous calculations be saved and reused? It won't even need to be optimized if it is in a place where the user is never going to notice it. Worse still, the code may already be optimized and is doing the heavy calculations now to avoid doing them later. Code does not run in isolation and neither does the optimization process."

However for GNOME applications, where memory allocation might be buried deep in either glib or GTK, the number of levels down the call-stack Massif descends needs to be increased.

One or two more levels may also be desirable to provide your code with some context.

Even though we cheated there are performance gains. Keeping the image data in the X server makes the graphics routines quicker and removes a lot of inter-process communication. Also, the pixmaps will be stored in a native graphics format which is often more compact than the 32-bit RGBA format used by gdk_pixbuf. To measure the effect of pixmaps, and other X resources use the <ulink type=\"http\" url=\"http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xrestop\">xrestop</ulink> program."
