Reading that book reinforced my opinion that I would rather leave micro optimizations to a compiler. How can you optimize for hardware that hasn't been invented yet? In 5 years time I can just recompile my code for the new architecture in assembly you need to rewrite.
Or, if you write in Java, never recompile and always be optimized for every execution environment automatically. Not only does the JIT optimize every time the code is loaded, but real-time instrumentation ensures intense, custom optimization of the most executed paths even as the input data and/or reference patterns change over time.
