Here is one that stuck in my memory. I worked with a brilliant guy that could solve problems in about any domain electrical, mechanical etc. When ever he programed in C he would check the compiler he was using to see what op codes it was generating. He was always programming a layer deeper that the average guy.
Inside of his tight multi-layered loops you would see stuff like this: for(i=10; i--;) It took me a few minutes the first time that I saw it to remember what each part of the for loop does and figure out what he was doing. Turns out that with the compiler that he was using, this tricky form avoided a few more cycles.
