I don't want to be too harsh - this is a fun idea, and I'm prone to silly fantasies about rewriting slow code in assembly myself - but this particular assembly doesn't take advantage of many of the "dirty tricks" that are available in low-level code.

As one example, check out the content-type detection, which is essentially a long chain of repeated strlen + strcmp; assembly language doesn't magically make bad algorithms fast.

Not to mention that long chain is ugly to read. I would rather see a macro defined and called multiple times than to see the same block of code copy/pasted over and over.
