Meh. Assembly languange programming is an art that's learned through
practise. I do not do it a lot, so I'm not very good at it. I think
it's hard, but I can beat the compiler, which is what matters. You
don't do it at all probably, so I guess for you it's even harder.

Then there's people like Gerd Isenberg and Frans Morsch, and apparently
Sune that eat assembly for breakfast. I guess for them it's easy.

I found an old snippet from Gerd Isenberg once that did the same as
a chunk of code I had written does. Gerd's version was ""a tad""
smaller and faster. I'm not posting details because they're way too
embarassing.
