Jakub, you've hit the nail on the head. CPU caches are often overlooked, but they're the unsung heroes of performance optimization. Reminds me of a startup I advised: they ignored cache tuning and paid the price in sluggish user experience.

Thanks, Zach! Totally with you - caches are like invisible performance fuel. Itโ€™s wild how often theyโ€™re ignored until things slow to a crawl. Laggy UX in a desktop app is already painful - but picture that same oversight deployed across a farm of backend servers. Thatโ€™s not just poor performance - itโ€™s a money drain at scale ๐Ÿ”ฅ Curious, did the startup manage to bounce back after tuning, or was it too late by then? ๐Ÿ‘€
