it's an oldie but _Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation_ covers these concepts really well in a language-independent way.
I don't think so. For instance, one basic technique in low-latency C++ is running specific code periodically even with no-op parameters just to keep it warm in the cache.

It's one thing to claim that you can cherry pick some directly or indirectly pieces of information from an unrelated source. It's another entirely different thing to claim that unrelated source is an authoritative reference in an unrelated field, specially when no one recognizes it as such.

Interestingly you can find a lot of good tips in the optimization section of 'Realtime Collision Detection ' https://realtimecollisiondetection.net/
