Maybe we are not living in the same world? In my world
products time to market is 6 to 12 months. The number
of codelines by far exceed 50000. If you are late with
the development or have performance impacts by design
it really costs. For calculation the assembler to C/C++
ratio is set to 20 in time and cost.
