   IMO this depends not only on the purpose of the code, but also on the   
   environment. Like with different algorithms (for sorting...), the same   
   code can behave differently, depending on the data etc.   
      
   HLL code can have a better performance, when recompiled with a new   
   compiler, or for new hardware.   
      
   I'd say that carefully optimized LLL code will not run slower than HLL   
   code. Everything else depends... ;-)
