  The 'inc' instruction works also directly with memory locations
(ie. variables) but is slower than an 'inc' on a register. But of course
loading the variable first on a register, incrementing the register and
then storing the register on the variable is not faster (it's actually slower,
I think).
  And besides, if it's not optimizing (as the original poster said), it
should generate the simplest code, not the fastest.
