For a speed skater in the men's 1000 m, a 10th of a second is 149 cm.
At the rink, for example, a hockey player or speed skater expends 25 per cent of their energy fighting against the friction of the ice, and the other 75 per cent trying to cut through the air.
Reduce the friction or the drag, even by the tiniest amount, and the athletes are suddenly getting more bang for their buck- an energy advantage that could be equally important in a quick dash for the puck, or a long grind toward a distant finish line.

 Hernando: Built for (human) speed
But the submarine built by a group of high school students is a racing vessel, and the power source is legs.

 Tux: Built for Speed eWEEK - Find Articles
The 60.7MB of static Web content was small enough to easily fit into RAM, so this benchmark primarily tested networking and thread management code, not disk-handling routines (we did have Web server logging enabled, however).
As mentioned, Tux's internal architecture is designed specifically for high performance, but that design is only one of five factors critical to its top-notch performance, according to Tux's primary author, Ingo Molnar, kernel development/systems engineer at Red Hat, in Berlin.
The other four areas are all features of the Linux 2.4 kernel and will speed up any Linux server application, not just Tux: zero-copy TCP/IP networking, interrupt and process CPU affinity, per-CPU kernel memory resources (called slab caches) and wake-one scheduling.
