HI Lokesh,
The biggest performance challenges in real-time software usually come from latency and predictability, not just raw speed. It’s more about algorithms and system design — choosing efficient data structures, minimizing GC pauses, and reducing synchronization overhead. Low-level code tuning matters too, but only after the higher-level architecture and algorithms are optimized.
