Now we are getting somewhere.  Actual experience.  Could you elaborate on
the compilers and constructs that need to be hand optimized into equivalent
code because the optimizers aren't doing it themselves?  Or are there
better constructs with size that aren't equivalent to their pointer
counterparts?
