"Betov" answered "C":

[about assembler benchmarks..]

I actually don't care much about compiling speed,
it depends more on the programming style than on
'smartness' of the compiler.

A verbose written source with many equates, macros,
and other HLL-styled (programmers convenient only) stuff,
will take more time to convert anyway.

And even if an >4MB PE may need 30 seconds for compilation,
I'd be more aware of the speed/size performance of the produced file.

My way of coding is simple: no macros, almost no equates and I'll
keep data-label count short by using offsets to address struct-items.

So it will be almost impossible to compare compiling speed
on different assemblers if not using identical source.
