Size of generated code, for instance. It's not too hard to hand optimize (in asm if necessary) 10% of the code if it's using 90% of the CPU time, but you really are at the mercy of the compiler as far as size of program is concerned. Size still matters if you have limited RAM or cache, or must send the code over a low speed link.
