[14:42:20] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; &lt;TheCycoONE&gt; I think that pdf was talking about PS3 game development specifically<BR>
[14:42:25] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; not really<BR>
[14:42:51] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; only the last optimization using the prefetch is somewhat ps3 specific<BR>
[14:43:23] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; &lt;TheCycoONE&gt; notably software that didn't have to be maintained for a long time.  The arguments for OO are not based on performance, they're based on readability and maintainability of large projects.<BR>
[14:43:23] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; &lt;TheCycoONE&gt; Important because a lot of foss projects get dumped because they're an unmaintainable mess<BR>
[14:44:01] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; interestingly those projects that get unmanagable are mostly written in OOP languages<BR>
[14:44:44] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; *especially C++*<BR>
[14:45:42] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">TheCycoONE</font>&gt; sh4rm4: I haven't noticed that correlation myself.  Amarok 1 was C++, but grub 1 and htmltidy were both C.  Without a very large sample size though I don't have much of an argument<BR>

[14:54:16] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">TheCycoONE</font>&gt; not a fan of SQL then?<BR>
[14:57:10] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; hehe<BR>
[14:57:14] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; well, not anymore<BR>
[14:57:38] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; nowadays i prefer databases tailored for the specific usecase<BR>
[14:58:02] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">sh4rm4</font>&gt; having to parse a complex syntax seems a bit overkill for most use cases<BR>
[15:06:05] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">TheCycoONE</font>&gt; probably over used because it's ubiquitous, granted.<BR>
