I noticed that Aztec C has its own assembler and the C compiler has an option to convert the C source to assembly without actually doing the assembling. Would it be worthwhile to hand-tune the generated assembly file?
In my (somewhat limited) experience with Aztec C, not really. The resultant file is generally calls to it's own library routines and stack manipulation. It is very good at mixing C and assembly source code however. An extra benefit with Aztec (and Hyper C) comes when mixing both interpreted p-code, compiled code and assembly code depending on where your program requires speed versus size. This style of program development requires some skill with the tools though.
