The Microchip MPLAB C18 compiler has full optimization during the demo
period and then drops to partial optimization but is still free to use.
So you can try it out and decide if the extra optimization is worth
paying $495 for. It comes with lifetime support/updates which is pretty
rare.

Cheerful regards,
