-   Before optimizing, benchmark first.
-   Different benchmarking approaches.
-   Live evaluation, step-debugging, measuring from a debugger breakpoint.
-   How to determine if a function is expensive. How to pick one from
    competing alternatives (cl-lib, seq, dash, lean core).
-   Print-benchmarking.
-   Byte-compiled code can give a very different picture, changing where
    the bottleneck is. How to quickly load a byte-compiled version.
-   Steps taken to speed up the Xref package recently.
