If the assembly was originally compiled from C, the new "C equivalent" can have radically different flow than the original had.
Modern compilers can do rather crazy and surprising transformations to your code.
They might omit large chunks or even turn your loop structure "inside out" to enable vectorization optimizations.
They can pattern match your algorithm and replace it with something faster. See: https://lemire.me/blog/2016/05/23/the-surprising-cleverness-...
