  4. Too Many Allocations This is really the most basic thing

    that can go wrong. Too Many Pointers If you create a data structure that is a large mesh of pointers you'll have two problems. First, there will be a lot of object writes […] and, secondly, when it comes time to collect that data structure, you will make the garbage collector follow all those pointers and if necessary change them all as things move around. […] But if you create such a structure on a transitory basis, […], then you will pay the cost much more often. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973837.aspx#dotnetgcbasics_topic2

  7. ...this is what you are actually doing! IRepository<Order> repository =

    new ValidatingOrderRepository ( new SecurityRepository<Order> ( new LoggingRepository<Order> ( new CachingRepository<Order> ( new NHibernateRepository<Order> () ) ) ) ); Order order = repository.Get(35);
  8. Few projects :-) Few lines of code :-) Awesome community

    to help :-D Eeek! very few tests :-S
  9. • Performance is a feature • Always. Be. Shipping. •

    Use your circumstances. • Open source your libraries • 3 obscenely big monitors. CONCLUSION
