We held a seminar at Evoke about our Amiga demo making approach which has kindly been recorded. It is available on YouTube - Modern Amiga Demo Cross-Development I thought that this might be interesting to some.
Awesome breakdown of the effects. I'll definitely be copying some of these techniques :)
I found the cache analysis method really interesting. Always wanted to have some kind of cache simulator like you guys had. It's a little disheartening the return was only 5% though even after the massive reduction of cache misses. Still A+ for sharing the research you did!
