11 Nanoseconds per Word: Over-Optimizing Anagrams
A new write-up details an exercise in extreme performance optimization: solving anagram puzzles at a rate of roughly 11 nanoseconds per word. The piece walks through increasingly aggressive low-level tuning of an anagram solver, with commentators on Hacker News discussing the engineering trade-offs of pushing a fun problem far beyond practical speed requirements.
Why now: Programmers enjoy deep-dive optimization stories that show dramatic performance gains on a simple, familiar problem.
