Proebsting's paradox refers to the counterintuitive observation in computer science regarding performance improvements in computing systems. It originates from work by Robert Proebsting, who noted that despite significant efforts to optimize compilers for programming languages, the actual performance gains achieved can sometimes be negligible or even result in slower execution times. The paradox essentially states that while theoretical improvements or increased optimization can be achieved in a compiler or system, the real-world performance seen in programs often does not align with these expectations.
