+> Normally, to make your software go faster, it has to do less work. This
+> usually involves improving your algorithms, skipping work the user won't see,
+> factoring your target hardware into the design process, or modifying your
+> game's content.
+>
+> We're not talking about any of that today. This post is a list of ways to make
+> your game run faster on Windows–without making any major changes to your
+> game's content, code, or algorithms.
