There is some, particularly in the components that are optimized to to take advantage of the native hardware signal processing capabilities integrated into the PowerPC G4/G5 and Pentium series cpus. Hand-coded instructions in these critical sections, by someone who knows how to take advantage of them, can net enormous gains in processing speed. It's very carefully factored, of course.

Obviously you've never used assembler. You guys are talking past each other, and unfortunately you don't have a clue about what Graywolf is talking about. (I think he's being a bit pedantic but...).
