Responding to: ???'s previous message
A Very skilled ASM Programmer can Always make tighter faster code then a HLL, but not write it as fast. I would imagine the compiler writers include some of those ASM Pros.

In many projects Most of the code does not need to be fast or tight. The extra 5% or 10% is out wieghed by the time saved.

Even in ASM where you data is and how you access it matters.
