Is that why I had to use assembly code instead of C for some parts of my previous projects? There was even one example where the C compiler made spectacularly bad code. I only needed 6 pointer registers (the arch has 8), but the compiler decided to use only one or two and spilled and reloaded them from the stack for each use. Yay!
