From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
hot spot n.   1. [primarily used by C/Unix programmers, but    spreading] It is received wisdom that in most programs, less than    10% of the code eats 90% of the execution time; if one were to graph    instruction visits versus code addresses, one would typically see a    few huge spikes amidst a lot of low-level noise.   Such spikes are    called `hot spots' and are good candidates for heavy optimization or    {hand-hacking}.   The term is especially used of tight loops and    recursions in the code's central algorithm, as opposed to (say)    initial set-up costs or large but infrequent I/O operations.   See    {tune}, {bum}, {hand-hacking}.   2. The active location of a cursor    on a bit-map display.   "Put the mouse's hot spot on the `ON' widget    and click the left button."   3. A screen region that is sensitive to    mouse gestures, which trigger some action.   World Wide Web pages now    provide the {canonical} examples; WWW browsers present hypertext    links as hot spots which, when clicked on, point the browser at    another document (these are specifically called {hotlink}s).   4. In a       massively parallel computer with shared memory, the one location    that all 10,000 processors are trying to read or write at once    (perhaps because they are all doing a {busy-wait} on the same lock).    5. More generally, any place in a hardware design that turns into a    performance bottleneck due to resource contention.
