that depends on how you look at the way you write code... just to
expect that a compiler does a better way optimizing stuff than a good
programmer would, is a wrong assumption. you can think and/or believe
that ofcourse, but its simply not true. indeed its experience that
make good code run faster, not just a compiler.

not saying that gcc is a bad compiler, but i'm not sure one can call
gcc a great compiler in the first place.
