Sure, merchants usually calculate sharp and wont spend more than
the minimum required. Qualified ASM coders are rare and expensive.

My reason for using machine code is just that I'm familiar with it
since many years and the output is always shorter 'and' faster than
any compiler produced code, and it saves me on many keystrokes too.

I can confirm this, almost all tools I use are own made ...

Just check it out by disassembling any of your windoze drivers.
After the first few lines you'll see what I mean.
