Compiler Speed Trials

Cool! I'll look into trying to break that. Shaving most of a second off a 2 second benchmark is still impressive.

Curiously, I can see the odd optimization in Hisoft routines too:

Code:

LD DE, $0005      
   AND A              
   SBC HL, DE         ; HL = k / 2 * 3 + 4 - 5

Is probably better done as:

Code:

LD DE, -5
ADD HL,DE

Which doesn't need the AND A so shaves one byte and 4 T states off every fixed 16 bit subtract.
