The assembler is unlikely to have an impact on performance.  As far as I
know, ARM's assembler, like the GNU assembler, has the job of faithfully
turning assembly code into bits; it's not in the optimization business.
 If, in fact, you get better performance due to ARM's assembler, I'd
certainly be interested in seeing the resulting object files and what
ARM's assembler did that was better than the GNU assembler!
