Programming with an assembler or in machine code is an exercise in futility. Any reasonable compiler will give code that is reasonably sized and fast. Unless you have Knowledge of execution cycles, it is not very advantageous to use assemblers. Many personal coding techniques do not exploit the potential size saving methods or cycle saving techniques. Thus in general, any compiler will give better code than any individual assembler writer. Also, using a compiler will give better transportablity than assembler. Finally, the best way to achieve efficiency is to develope a good algorithm.
