Commonly programs are optimised for RunTime efficiency, that is, so they run as fast as possible, but a number of other things may be optimisation targets can also be used, including:
# Object code size - used mainly for frequently downloaded [Java]/[JavaScript] and to improve cache performance.
-# Threading capiability
- used for
to enable a single task to be spread efficiently across many
[CPU]s.
-# Compilation time - used in scripts when percieved
responsiveness is vital.

# Flexibility - the time to design/code new features.
# Portability - run on as many platforms as possible (requires avoiding platform-specific optimisation techniques).
In practise non-trivial projects often find themselves balancing these.
