I wrote x86 assembly demos for fun in the golden age of asm between the eras of 8088 and p6... It became so much about putting random instructions here and there to get better performance, one almost needs like a QuickCheck-like sythensizing+benchmarking hybrid compiler that automagically mutates code to find what is actually fastest by genetic algo-like heuristics.
