So what is it that you want to optimize for? Speed? Memory footprint? IO?

You usually optimize something becuase there is an issue identified that you
want to improve.

There's a famous quote by Donald Knuth:
"The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying
about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature
optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in
programming."

It is not currently necessary here. I just like optimizing. :)

That's true. Again, I just like optimizing. :)

Well...the text adventure *is* going to be pretty large, so I have an excuse to optimize early. What do you think? :)

Uhh...can somebody please re-post the advice. :( Years ago, I got some advice on optimizing and applied it, but IIRC, nothing on my text adventure.

Admittedly, no. :(
