I dunno, I'm sort of underwhelmed.

use the smallest data type you need for a given purpose (which you don't really need to worry about on modern hardware for integer types)
use bitwise arithmetic when possible
use fake pathfinding when possible (in this case random walk), and when not possible, limit search depth
don't do collision detection on thousands of guests; allow them to phase through each other

This is all fairly basic stuff I would hope any game dev would be aware of.
