I think he doesn't speak about the speed of NASM but about the
speed of code generated by NASM.

Given the fact that his app hangs pretty well, i fail
to imagine that he would be talking about its speed.

The code is working OK for small DLLs, such imagehlp.dll
but if bigger, application is freezing.

Maybe NASM doesn't optimize his sort algorithm (a well designed
assembler doesn't only look at the instructions the programmer gives
it to assemble but analyses the complete program and replaces a slow
algorithm itself by a faster one)

OMG! The only reason I use an assembler every now and then is so that I
get the code I specify.

If I want the code generator to do all sorts of transformations behind
my back I'll take an HLL like C, thank you very much.
