SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This page introduces the style and theme for the site. If you are not familiar with the style of this site then you are probably wasting your time here, it is in the style of a UNIX manual page and if this is not familiar to you then you are unlikely to get much out of the information in this site.

This site is a collection of performance tuning tips and other internal information related to UNIX (including Linux).  Many of the techniques on this site are based around the thoughts of Cary Millsap and his formal method that he refers to as "Method R".

Please remember that Performance Tuning is invariably a compromise.  The "art" of performance tuning is to establish what you are compromising and to relate this back to the business drivers that should be guiding your work.

Finally I would like to thank all of those who have gone before me.  We all "stand on the shoulders of giants" and nowhere is this more apparent than when working with computers.  The sheer simplicity of how computers ultimately work is a testament to the brilliance and insight of those people on whose work I build.  In particular I would like to single out the Open Source movement, my own particular Technical Development has been made much easier by the availability of the source code to the Linux kernel.
