Nope, not even close. It depends totally on the compiler - look at the
difference between BC++, GCC and MSVC - GCC is slow, and generates so-so
code, BC++ is OK in both departments, and VC++ depends totally on your
compiler settings.
BUT, with RISC CPU's, and more and more parallelism in CPU cores, a compiler
is beginning to be able to generate better code then hand-coded ASM, 'cos
the complexity is rising sharply.
Having said that, 99% of this time I dont care about THAT level of speed -
I'd rather code a lot of business logic in a day than lots of ASM code that
does basically stuff all.

ouch, thats a lot of data - time for multiple fibre channels, me thinks.
They also have to weigh up how many bugs and problems you are going to get
over time in ASM vrs C++ or Delphi...
