    Those that explain the bad code, or those to comment out the bad code ?

            Yeah, that would slow things down. Using a to do list would help to remember to clean up such things. It is like a comment, but looks like //TODO: Remove this after testing. Then you can see the to so list in Visual Studio :)

            Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

              Strange behavior in my code, every operation it had to do took 5 seconds.. At the end I found it:

              System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);

              It was sitting there since the beggining of the project. Commented it, testing, and it worked normally. Can't remember why I made the system sleep 5 secs, on 10 operations it's ok, but on production we got 2'500 operations, took forever.. :zzz:

              You should have decreased the value.

                  Maybe by twenty-five to fifty percent; you need to leave some.

                    In this case I don't need it at all.. It was there for debugging, because without the sleep, debugging just went too fast.

                      No you need to leave some delay in for a development holiday. When Boss Man says the app is too slow, tell him you'll have a look, spend two days faffing, reduce the wait by 20% and tell him you've optimised the code. Simples.

                            Exactly. You understand the meaning of this valuable coding practise described in

                              Silly, to -1. (Incidentally, sleeping for 0 cycles has "special behaviour")
