Have to come in here a bit.
I've spent some time coding(a few years, more or less) and I have tried
most of the languages avaiable, Mostly the larger common ones. As I have
a friend, who is Asm addicted, as well as a C-coder, I took part of his
examples. using the borland c compiler, not the best, not the worst, he
made a simple algorithm to change a string in certain ways, first in C,
then in asm. After that, we peeked at the asm output that the compiler
made. it was some 400% larger both in code and instrucioon wise.(don't
ask details, I don't remember).

This gives, together with most specific ideas, that a smaller
function/code-pice is very much more effective in ASM than In any
language, and that is where asm code would give the best results, in
smaller, commonly used functions.
