 		 #139356 - How did you come to that bizarre idea...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... that you should care about speed/size when writing C-programs?

Simply, write it as it suits you the best.

If it is slow/big, use a faster/bigger microcontroller.

If it still won't fit, change the architecture (this is why you chose C isn't it). If it is slow, use asm.
