There's a book by Michael Abrash titled something like "The Zen of
Code Optimization". It's targeted to assembly programmers and not code
generators. Although much of the book talks about altering algorithms
and code sequences (such as loop unrolling, etc.), it does include a
good amount of information about Intel instruction optimization
techniques.
