Kunal,

I don't think that an "optimize" function is so desirable when you are working with assembler... The programmer may be reling in the timing generated by a given instruction, so if the assembler "optimizes" that code your timing is broken...

If you need such a tight code that needs looking for smaller instructions I think that the manual and experience are far more helpfull than an automated process in the assembler...

On other hand, I think that the optimize feature is good for code written in C (or some other high level language), since this code could be more "bloated" due to compiler characteristcs, etc...
