Compiler Tricks and Heuristics
1:42:09 - 1:44:40 (02:31)
Compiler people utilize tricks to make unmodified code run faster, often optimizing memory usage to achieve 10x speedup. However, these tricks can sometimes defeat the patterns and heuristics used by compilers, making it difficult to optimize code without understanding the inner workings of the compiler.

Parallelization
Summary
The use of auto parallelizing compilers for optimizing code can lead to unpredictable runtimes and technical debt. Compiler experts are smart and want to do tricky optimizations, but the speed gain can be overshadowed by maintenance difficulties.
