Yes, and that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

FYI real time programming to the nanosecond level was being done in
the 70's with FORTRAN.

But that is off subject for the topic at hand, i.e. program execution
times.

I say again, there are few problems where the total execution time
would be improved to by any practical degree by hand coded assembly.

Note the word 'practical', as in in would make any difference to
anybody in the real world.

Nobody would care if, for example, their huge circuit simulation program,
which does an immense amount of floating point calculations, finishes
in 5 minutes 10 seconds versus 5 minutes 40 seconds.
