No, writing 'better than gcc' assembly is easy, gcc is far from stellar
in this regard. But it's painfully slow and non-portable.
How can "painfully slow and non-portable" be better? You mean faster?
Doesn't change the fact that I doubt he could write faster assembly. By
the time he got done doing it in assembly, gcc 5 would probably be out
generating much faster binaries, not to mention new major stable kernel
revisions.
