Jon Bentley is recongized as one of the great authorities on Computer Programming and also as one of the best writers in the field. In this book he gives practical advice on improving the efficiency (optimizing) and the limits there of. While showing how to trade off speed for space or vice-versa, he points out the limits that can be expected to gain. His list of techniques is a collection of practical approaches rather than theoretical possibilities.
At 158 pages (not counting index) this book is eminently readable, accessable and useful. Clearly written and well organized this is a book to keep on your shelf for when a program needs improving. It is also a book to read before a program as a reminder not to make things complicated with optimization that aren't needed.
