Well, now that the performance bug in my code is solved, the speed of
assembler generation is fine with me. Most Pure users don't do this
anyway, either they just run their scripts in the interpreter or compile
them to an executable or object file. For the latter, bitcode would
indeed make things faster. As I said, I'm probably going to add that
some time, but I'm still procrastinating so that maybe I wake up one day
and find that the .o writer is already finished, so I can just use that
instead. ;-)
