Well, that would be another topic.
But understanding execution path analysis might help understand some
of the underlying reasons for these kinds of posts.
If you aren't familiar with the topic of execution paths, these
wikipedia articles will get you started on the topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profiling_%28computer_programming%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_engineering
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst-case_execution_time
I thought I had some theses handy on the topic, but they discuss tools
for analysis and assume understanding the topic. One is
ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/paradyn/technical_papers/CritPath-ICDCS1988.pdf

Be careful when you see conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart,
and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself.
