something odd which no one seems to have mentioned until now (and it's
surprising!) use the profiler! it will help quite a bit so you don't go
digging blindly through your code for things to speed up...

in my experience (actually somebody said this, and i found out for myself)
more than 50% of the program execution happens in one or two functions..
often even more than 50%..
