AIUI, because today's compilers apply and re-apply several layers
of optimisation and do so regradless, that it is now well nigh
impossible to code more effectively in assembler.

But that is not to say that assembler is not fun in an
amateur environemnt, because staying close to an admirable
complex machine is so rewarding!
