Well, I apologize then.  The only times I dive into anything remotely
resembling assembly nowadays is for payloads or device drivers.  And with
the current tools available, I hardly ever have to for these tasks anyways.
I've never had a problem writing applications in C performance wise nowadays
(but the applications I write are completely dissimilar from yours).

I think Andre Lamothe permanently poisoned me from assembly with his Black
Art of 3D Programming in 97.
