Certain things, particularly graphics, can be immensely speeded up when
written in assembly language... for example, if you look into high-level
language graphics routines, you'll find that 1. they probably have some
comparisons to determine what video adapter is present, and 2. they won't
translate very well from the assembly/disassembly code to the high-level
language. If you write your own graphics routines in assembly language, you
can make your own functions, and if you're only using it on your own
omputer,
you can make it adapter-specific and not worry about checking to make sure
it's run on the right adapter...
