<p>The last section contained a particularly interesting phrase: <i>the time-critical portions of your code</i>. Time-critical portions of your code are those portions in which the speed of the code makes a significant difference in the overall performance of your program&mdash;and by &ldquo;significant,&rdquo; I don&rsquo;t mean that it makes the code 100 percent faster, or 200 percent, or any particular amount at all, but rather that it makes the program more responsive and/or usable <i>from the user&rsquo;s perspective</i>.</p>

<p>Besides, we don&rsquo;t want to optimize until the design is refined to our satisfaction, and that won&rsquo;t be the case until we&rsquo;ve thought about other approaches.</p>

<p>Listing 1.4 is good, but let&rsquo;s see if there are other&mdash;perhaps less obvious&mdash;ways to get the same results faster. Let&rsquo;s start by considering why Listing 1.4 is so much better than Listing 1.1. Like <b>read()</b>, <b>getc()</b> calls DOS to read from the file; the speed improvement of Listing 1.4 over Listing 1.1 occurs because <b>getc()</b> eads many bytes at once via DOS, then manages those bytes for us. That&rsquo;s faster than reading them one at a time using <b>read()</b>&mdash;but there&rsquo;s no reason to think that it&rsquo;s faster than having our program read and manage blocks itself. Easier, yes, but not faster.</p>

<p>The second reason is the hallmark of the mediocre programmer. Know when optimization matters&mdash;and then optimize when it does!</p>
