Your choice, and that's fine. I'd rather halve my development time than
save a few bytes of RAM.

Compiled code is usually a bit *better* at RAM usage because the
compiler very agressively overlays automatic variables in functions.
Of course that doesn't help you with statics and globals.

OTOH, examples that show C being similar to assembly in code memory
usage and performance are usually contrived or do things that C does
rather well (eg. a TCP/IP stack).
