System Performance Tuning by Mike Loukides
This work covers two distinct areas: performance tuning, or the art of increasing performance for a specific application, and capacity planning, or deciding what hardware best fulfils a given role. This book focuses on the operating system, the underlying hardware, and their interactions.
