A good compiler will optimize better than you can, anyway.

A tiny example of the type of bizarre coding styles I've had to deal
with that makes code difficult to maintain.

This is quite minor and if I had to maintain code where this was the
only strange coding example in it, I'd actually be relieved/happy.
Add in a bunch of other oddball stuff and it becomes hard to follow.

But for grins, I'll ask you, why not a "for (J=0; J < LLL; J++)"
based construct which was designed for such loops?

And what was the advantage of "J = -1; while ( ++J ..." where the
intent was to go through the loop with J == 0 the first time. I
see no reason other than to confuse the next guy.  Maybe job
security for you?  A good compiler will optimize the assign to -1
away to a clear, on hardware where a clear/set to 0 is a bit faster
than setting to a nonzero constant.  That's irrelevant unless the
loop itself was in a larger loop and the code was being squeezed
for every microsecond.
