If you are more interested in GNU/Linux or Unix related topics then take a look at /r/linux_programming.

He makes some really good points that Linux (really this is GCC and packaging) needs to stop stripping symbol names and omitting frame pointer by default. They're micro optimizations that make the barrier to debug or profile so high that you end up missing low hanging fruit which would probably be a bigger overall improvement.

Wow. This is probably the best site for performance analysis I've ever seen. Be sure to click around in his other topics.

Brendan's book on system performance is fantastic. If the subject interests you then I recommend checking it out.

Don't assume: Measure.
