Assembly language is inherently incompatible with the Web.

We already have an API for compressing images, and "compression level" is
an ordinary input to image compressors, yet you're arguing that rather than
add the option to the API we have, we should require people to bundle their
own image compressors and write MMX assembly on the Web to make it fast.
 Sorry if I think that's a bizarre argument...
