In most cases, programming in the large, a competent optimizing compiler
could produce faster code than a person can.


For instance, the compiler could readily do global register allocation by
using graph coloring, whereas the mentioned technique does not even cross
the person's mind at the time. Well, even if it does it would be
infeasible for him/her to implement the allocation himself due to its
sheer size as well as impractical debugging time.


Have fun.
