    I have have crafted assembly instructions and have made it faster than the same C code.

    Particular to if statements, C will do things push and pull values from the stack which takes a small but occasionally noticeable amount of cycles.

        Meanwhile I’m reverse engineering some very much not performance sensitive video game binary patcher program some guy made a decade ago and Ghidra interprets a string splitting function as a no-op because MSVC decided calling conventions are a spook and made up a new one at link time. And it was right to do that.

        EDIT: Also me looking for audio data from another old video game, patiently waiting for my program to take about half an hour on my laptop every time I run it. Then I remember to add --release to cargo run and while the compilation takes three seconds longer, the runtime shrinks to about ten seconds. I wonder if the above guy ever tried adding -O2 to his CFLAGS?

      python, what are you doing?"

      idk, I’m written in C, it does things push and pull values from the stack, have you tried assembly, it’s faster

          if you use TeX as much as i do, you learn that “begging the program to behave differently” is pretty viable
