Too many times have I seen inexperienced programmers not take into account the memory hierarchy when writing their algorithms. Their algorithms end up being extremely slow in real situations with real data because of their inefficiencies. Especially algorithms that work on thousands of database records.

Dean, do you know some intermediate/advanced resources on this topic with real life examples?
