However, I do believe that all the currently supported compilers are able to beat out any programmers over the long run - we can use asm tricks to hand-tune very small sections of hot-spot code, but nobody can sustain that level of hand-optimization for 10K or 20K lines of code.
Anybody thinking of this is almost surely better off spending their time coming up with new and better algorithms. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
