payload in Tcp Syn packet

Interesting...
Apparently you can send payload data in the Tcp SYN packet, avoiding

Kind of behind the times on my reading, but here it goes:

This article has an interesting perspective on optimizing algorithms for paging/cache affects. I didn't particularly like his writing style though. I half expected him to say: Yo Dawg, my algorithm is the shiznit!

In the comments you find an adult has stepped in and started us on the literature:

"In fact, there is a whole branch of theoretical computer science dedicated to finding algorithms that are optimal once you consider memory paging."
