Really? I haven't found that to be the case very often.

Here we definitely agree :). It's also worth mentioning that it's not often worth it to optimize very much of your code. (The 80-20, or perhaps 95-5, rule applies in full force.)
Obviously, it's still worth it to have compilers optimize idiomatic code.
