Regression in Zig/C comparison #431

The website mentions this comparison between C and Zig.

In more recent versions, while Zig still uses faster instructions, it actually uses one more instruction which makes the comparison look less cool.

Of course it's just doing some stack management which is way faster than an imul, but just thought it was worth pointing out :)

This used to be on the overview, but looks like it was moved to old github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org@eb96ef0b76/old-content/learn/overview.en.md (L60)
