<p>Once things are cleaned up with gcc 3.x, you shouldn't have to worry about
compiler produced asm code.  The best thing to do with ogg is figure out
better algorithms and any better code structures to more optimize the
decoding and encoding libraries.   ASM code isn't going to help you much
compared to better algorithms or better structure of the code.

Worry about speed and such when OGG is complete.  Until then worry about
completing it.    I'd much rather have slower encoders that did all ogg
vorbis is supposed to do and decoders that can play those files than
slightly faster versions of incomplete libraries.
