Summary: Excellent Introduction to Code Optimization
Comment: For those who have never before had to worry about source code performance optimization, this is the first book you want to read. It will introduce you to basic, common techniques for performance optimization of your source code.

The text is programming language independent and can be easily understood by anyone who has taken a basic programming course (which I hope you have done by now, because you can't optimize code if you can't even program it).

I gave this introductory text three stars because it is just that, an introductory text. If you want advanced performance optimizations -- I'm programming an operating system or compiler kind of depth -- then look elsewhere.

Summary: Best book I found on the subject...
Comment: The book is starting to be outdated but I did not find a better book on the subject. Teaches a few assembly tricks to help you get a bit of performance. At least it covers Pentium (only Pentium I and Pentium Pro though). When is the second edition coming out? Unless you are already an advanced assembly programmer, you will learn something in this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Suberb Book, Second Edition Please!
Comment: There are so many computer books that have second editions which add little to the original text. This book deserves a second edition by covering;

MMX (when this book was written only the MMX spec from Intel was available, so the author does his best)

SSE & 3DNow! & SSE2 Instructions (SIMD FPU rogramming)

PII, PIII, & Athlon coverage

Encoding / Decoding of Audio and Video Streams
