How about:
Life is too short to wait for a program to execute that was written by
   someone who didn't know how to speed it up with assembly.
--or-- 
Life is too short to wait for the next generation of super optimizing
   "no assembly necessary" compilers to hit the market.

Besides, some of us can't resist getting our hands dirty.
