Do not attempt to optimize the whole program, use a profiler (Intel's good) to identify the bottlenecks and take care of them first. Watch out for older optimization techniques - many of them can actually make your program slower on today hardware and with new compilers. And of course better algorithms are always preferable to just tweaking the code.
