Not necessarity programming techniques, but use of system resources can be more expensive than they should be (eg: poor blocking, especially on tape). That's an interface issue, rather than a programming issue. And, as a performance/capacity analyst, I have participated in many optimisation efforts, with recommendations that have changed programming. - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers, nor motivation!
