  I'm doing real-time graphics coding.  I've got to get an inner loop 
down to 7.5 cycles per two pixels.  C is not the most effective way to 
do this.  Up to now, I've just compiled with the -S switch and edited 
the assembler output, but that becomes inconvenient pretty quickly when 
you want to fiddle around with the source.
  Besides, it's fun. :)
