Last time I heard, assembly wasn't considered out of bounds for high performance game programming by any means.

  Last you heard must have been a while ago. Even the engines aren't being written in assembly. Writing in x86 yields slower and less optimized code than letting gcc -o3 etc compile your C code in x86. It simply gets too complex to manage in assembly.

    offtopic: gcc -Os is probably even faster than -O3.

      That's not true in the case of C – just reported in the case of Ruby. And only in some cases.
