Many programs spend the vast majority of their time executing a small
fraction of the code.  Any time the compiler spends optimizing the
remainder in anything other than resource-constrained embedded systems
will generally be wasted (space can be an issue even for code that may
have a 1% chance of executing at all in the course of a product's lifetime,
and certain rarely-taken paths may be performance critical if code needs
to meet certain timing deadlines even when they occur).

Out of curiosity, how would Tiny C have done if you'd incorporated that
same ASM routine into it?  Also, have you made any effort to write the
code in a way favorable to Tiny C?  I wonder how its times would fare
then?
