Nah… I have written >100k programs, same program, in both 'c' and assembler…. Lattice 'c' for the amiga, as a matter of fact… and I ended up with a 60k program that runs a heck of a lot faster, where about 40 per cent of the final product is in assembler. I wrote it in 'c' first, because it was easy, then in assembler because the performance just wasn't there. and dropped 40k of code in the process. 'c' just can't cut it against a good assembly programmer. –Ben–
