Whatever the language, I like the "show me the 
code/graphs/benchmarks/disassembly/data/something/anything" 
approach Atila used in his blog post.

When I wrote a blog post about why C const is practically useless 
for optimisation, I lost count of how many people smugly pointed 
out that const "should" go on the other side of the *, as if that 
made all the difference.  If they actually tried it they'd see it 
makes zero difference because "int * const x" is even less useful 
for optimisation.
