In article <By4Dwr.78r@mentor.cc.purdue.edu> hrubin@pop.stat.purdue.edu (Herman Rubin) writes: Full efficiency of code can be attained by hand-optimization, with whatever aid one can get from computers, for a given machine. That's a statement of belief, not of fact. In fact, optimizations can get complex enough that they go beyond what any person could realistically do manually. You are also assuming that people care about "full efficiency of code". Most people don't. Thomas.
