Achieving High Performance Application in Java Coding!

High performance web sites and applications can start from the design coding level.  Most of the time, performance tuning we view comes at the later stage of the development life cycle, in particular at the deployment stage.  What can we do by deployment stage?  We can only tune start up parameters, add more hardware, or add more network components in the architecture.  But what if the problem is in the JVM where you diagnose it to be poor application performance due to coding?  Changing codes at this stage will be more expensive and difficult unlike when you are in the development stage!
