Well, you picked a very specific algorithm amenable to that kind of

how a good chunk of the implementation was still in C.
And this is of course exactly the kind of spot where you _would_ use
assembly in the real world. 99.99% of code is better written in C than
assembler, but there is that 0.01% where hand-coded assembler is a
better choice.
