Abstract
This chapter covers both the analysis and the optimization of script performance. We will warm up with some scenarios in which a good script can outpace a traditional pipeline of C applications. With this musing undertaken, we will proceed to tour the available analysis tools and apply them to a sample script. Finally, we will look at some algorithmic and linguistic optimization strategies.
