Premature optimisation might be the root of all evil, but overdue optimisation is the root of all frustration. No matter how fast hardware becomes, we find it easy to write programs which run too slow. Often this is not immediately apparent. Users can go for years without considering a program’s performance to be an issue before it suddenly becomes so — often in the space of a single working day. I have devoted more of my life to optimisation than I care to think about, and that experience has

Enrique Aguirre Aves/Getty Images So, you've decided to jump to the Linux operating system, and a spare laptop is the best way to go. After installing the open-source operating system, you log in, start using it, and find it far easier than you thought. You also find that Linux is running a bit slow. I'm always surprised when that happens, because Linux is well-known as a very efficient OS. However, some hardware isn't quite up to the task of running modern desktop operating systems. Also: I

Of course, the budget model isn’t exactly alike; Google pairs it with just 8GB RAM, the packaging wrapping up the G4 appears to be cheaper, and the chip is paired with an older and less efficient modem.
