Numerical Recipes often has useful information to help optimize the code further. I haven't read Plaugers latest, but I am sure it is quite good. I just didn't think of his. I also use a very nifty (but old) book called by Robert Garfinkel and George L Nemhauser. It was published by Wiley in 1972, but is one of those volumes that is sort of a standby for me.
