My day job is writing C for embedded systems so I've become quite familiar with how compilers produce inefficient code! Especially on less well supported platforms.

Yeah, especially Bartmans GCC11 compiler is efficent enough. However, often it does not matter so much if C or ASM is used but what your algorithms are. In asm projects you often tend to micro optimize, while in C projects you simply try another algorithm.
