Or rewrite most of it into small, quick C (or similar) - so it could be ported to other architectures easily. Overall size would be the major factor in speed and memory efficiency - rather than coding language.

Fun fact, the earliest versions of UNIX were, in fact, written in assembler, and rewritten piecewise into the bootstrapped "C" language, partially for portability (and sanity's) sake.
