You may have a preference for programming in assembler, and I won't attempt
to convince you otherwise. (Refreshing, eh?) On the other hand, it does seem
worth pointing out that all MIDI i/o traffic in X crosses from the client
process to a server process via Mach messages. I expect the overhead
involved in this transfer would utterly swamp any benefits you might gain
from calling the CoreMIDI APIs directly from assembly. CoreMIDI should be no
more difficult to call from assembler than any other Max OS X framework, but
if it were, you could always write wrappers in C and have your assembly code
call those.
