mmm... really interesting thread....
It would be great if someone with experience could write a tutorial on
basic optimization techniques, I know there are many about optimising
python, but i am thinking more specifically on dealing with graphics and
games. Like for example I am not sure about how to use the profiler on a
complex program. I would like to be able to profile my whole game in one
go. but maybe this is crazy/stupid idea, i am not sure.
