Hello Folks,
You've been so helpful in the past, so I thought I'd ask again. Are there any
books or other references with suggestions about how I can optimize my code for
speed and for producing less garbage. My guess is that my programming skills
aren't the best and produce way too much garbage.
I would also appreciate any suggestion or favorite methods of optimizing code
that you may have.

Peter Norvig's upcoming book _Paradigms of AI Programming_ has several good
sections on optimization. Much more detail on this than any of the other
LISP/AI Programming *texts* that I have seen, although other sources
(e.g. LISP and Symbolic Computation) undoubtedly have more detail in
specific areas. It is due out in October from Morgan Kaufmann.
