That seems about right to me for general coding. Now put the core code in assembly and leave the rest in C.. what do you get? On the otherhand, for medium to large programs it can take 10 times as long to do it in assembly.. or longer! That's the key tradeoff. >And if Matthew Dillon was think of doing a macro assembler...
