What you do the small speed boost may not matter, but in the 80s my teacher was writing code for the 68K processor and you couldn't use C for that.
Not sure what you mean here? It was and is certainly possible to use C on the 68000. Just one example was a machine called the 'Unicorn' from a company here in the UK called Torch. It not only ran a C compiler, it's native operating system was Unix.
Weird. They had to use Assembler for pretty much everything. They used those processors and.... I don't even know which OS, but they had a lot of Unix. He told me back when he did this that Vi would only show one line at a time and you'd have like thousands of lines of code and have to check something a few lines up so you'd have to give the command to view it up in that area or something. I installed Linux on a box for him and showed him Vim
