Re: code bloat is not necessarily slow
Compilers sometimes matter too.
It's not just how you write code, its how "clever" the compiler is in optimizing what you have written (e.g. a half decent compiler should mean that using register keyword in your code should no longer be needed).
I remember back in the day, the fun to be had compiling c code with MS and then using WATCOM, the WATCOM code was far smaller and faster.
