I wouldn't go that far

The problem with assembly is that it is almost impossible to optimize it as a human. Way back in the day instruction sets were written for humans but these days it is highly unlikely that you will be able to write assembly that can outperform a compiler. The reason primary has to do with pipelining and caching since modern CPUs are extremely complex.
