The old fashionned computer chess programmers, majority of which is not posting here, they're a lot better than you guess there at that low level solving of problems.

Noone questioned that. But not only chess programmers can optimize at low level.
And AFAIK noone has patent for programming Smile
Btw. If your app is crap already at high level then low level optimizations are pointless. And the best optimization is to not calculate something instead of calculating it faster, don't you agree? Smile

Now you seem to argue that, but look at it from business viewpoint. There is 0 motivation for the big games to optimize it lower level. What runs ok with all features, is sufficient for them. And if not then produce the game quick and wait for a new graphics card to solve your problem Smile

Are you sure? It's very easy to hit the limits and then not even sacred water will help you.
It's not only about code optimization but also about asset optimization. I believe that for example having lower complexity collision meshes would help more than having a slightly faster vector math library.
Of course who says you can't have both Smile

And don't forget that most sales are for the consoles (PS3 and 360). So until next-gen consoles come you're much more limited there than on a PC which does usually a fraction of console sales.
