+\section1 Opaque Items
+
+Items hidden behind an opaque item incur a cost. If an item will be enitrely
+obscured by an opaque item, set its opacity to 0. One common example of
+this is when a "details" page is shown over the main application view.
+
+\section1 Clipping
+
+\e clip is set to false by default. Enable clipping only when necessary.
+
+\section1 Anchors vs. Binding
+
+It is more efficient to use anchors rather than bindings to position items
+relative to each other. Consider this use of bindings to position rect2
+relative to rect1:
+
+\code
+Rectangle {
+ id: rect1
+ x: 20
+ width: 200; height: 200
+}
+Rectange {
+ id: rect2
+ x: rect1.x
+ y: rect1.y + rect1.height
+ width: rect1.width - 20
+ height: 200
+}
+\endcode
+
+This is achieved more efficiently using anchors:
+
+\code
+Rectangle {
+ id: rect1
+ x: 20
+ width: 200; height: 200
+}
+Rectange {
+ id: rect2
+ height: 200
+ anchors.left: rect1.left
+ anchors.top: rect1.bottom
+ anchors.right: rect1.right
+ anchors.rightMargin: 20
+}
+\endcode
+
+\section1 Images
+
+Images consume a great deal of memory and may also be costly to load. In order
+to deal with large images efficiently it is recommended that the Image::sourceSize
+property be set to a size no greater than that necessary to render it. Beware that
+changing the sourceSize will cause the image to be reloaded.
+
+Images on the local filesystem are usually loaded synchronously. This is usually
+the desired behavior for user interface elements, however for large images that
+do not necessarily need to be visible immediately, set the Image::asynchronous
+property to true. This will load the image in a low priority thread.
+
+\section1 View Delegates
+
+Delegates must be created quickly as the view is flicked. There are two important
+aspects to maintaining a smooth view:
+
+\list
+\o Small delegates - keep the amount of QML to a minimum. Have just enough
+QML in the delegate to display the necessary information. Any additional functionality
+that is only needed when the delegate is clicked, for example, should be created by
+a Loader as needed.
+\o Fast data access - ensure the data model is as fast as possible.
