And the most important part: try to optimize your application 
first. I've seen a surprizing number of people who feel
that they need to do something with the kernel while what
is really suboptimal (or downright broken) is their application.
When writing programs people make many assumptions about
what is fast and often these assumptions are wrong, plus
there are bugs where the code generally works but does it slowly.
This is especially true for applications written in C++
and other OO languages, and for threaded applications. 
If you want to have a cost-efficient solution, the applications 
really need to be profiled and measured, and all the performance 
squeezed out of them before going into the kernel.
