inline assembly is good, but using it forces everybody to use the same
compiler.i cannot stand gas syntax. i find msvc syntax sometime awkward.
tasm (borland) sucks.

nasm is good, i have been using nasm for ~5 years for many different
purposes. the built-in preprocessor is very flexible, and its almost as
portable as netbsd ;-). nasm lacks coff debug support.

if you want to experiment, try benchmarking the encoding using inlined
and nasm'd function. ie. choose a really time critical function, such as sad8x8,
or sad16x16.
