You should change the title of the post to “50 premature optimization techniques”. Joking aside, It’s fine to mention these, but you should make it clear that most of these techniques don’t yield real measurable improvements in code (unless the code is crafted for one of these rules).

A lot of these tips result in an insignificant increase in performance: 1, 2, and 4 are prime examples (not sure about 3; 5 is actually a good tip). In fact, tip 1 isn’t even always true – sometimes the opposite holds.

You might say that any increase is better than nothing, but I’d say it’s just distracting away from more important performance aspects.

Trim this list down to 10, and you’ve got a good list.

Great list. Good work. Some of your suggestions, such as $i++ vs ++$i are probably not relevant for most web sites, but it’s nice to know.

I hate nitpickers, too bad that I am one of them today.

Point 2 is directly contradicted by the author’s citation for point 3 and that source doesn’t even mention sprintf. Badly investigated and misleading – keep clear.
