Once C is compiled it is machine code. Once ASM is compiled it is machine
code as well. I disagree with you about the speed part. Why would it be
slower? C is a compiled languege, like ASM, only its higer-level. Yes, a
compiled C program is probably much larger than an asm one due to many libs
& stuff, but I say its well worth it. The development of the programs
themselves would speed up, and that's better than just a few speedy
programs.
