There were several competitions, most notably the 4 kb intro, 64 kb intro and the demo compos. Both the official results as well as the files themselves are available on dedicated mirrors by scene.org. While most of the demos are for the Windows platform, there are some Linux and Java demos, too, and whole compos dedicated to consoles and mobile devices."

    There are the mobile competitions: Demos for cellphones and PDAs. These are very limited machines, so yes, optimization does make sense. If there weren't people who love efficiency and have the willpower and experience to squeeze every last bit of performance out of limited hardware, computers would be much more dull and expensive than they are today. Btw, in a really tight loop instruction level optimization makes sense on any processor.
