   An optimizing assembler?  What a disaster that would be.  

Actually, optimzing assemblers are fairly common, since they are very
easy to write. If you have an existing compiler that doesn't optimize,
and you need to boost performance a bit, fiddling directly with the
assembler code output is the easiest thing to do.
