General Design Guidelines

Make It Fast

Do whatever you can to make your application fast. Index your soups correctly (which we talk about in Chapter 9, Newton Data Storage). Go over your code to make sure heavily-used routines are optimized. Try whenever possible to limit time-intensive operations to occasionally done activities in the application.
