 For a paper for a graduate course I am taking, I would like a reference to
an old topic:

 Once upon a time, industry gurus pontificated on the issue of whether using
high-level languages was a good idea, because hand-coded assembly language
was usually more efficient in run-time (the younger generation may find this
hard to believe, but 'tis true).

 I would like citations to articles in this category.  E-mail please, unless
everybody thinks they would like a good laugh.

 Thanks!
