The parent asked two questions:

1. What is the performance of this implementation of an assembly server? The comment you replied to answered it: It's likely crap. Hand written assembly is almost always worse than compiler.

2. How much performance can a human still squeeze out at the assembly level? That question is different and remains unanswered. But in my experience the answer is the same.
