Not more code, just correct code.

Have you tried returning the final value of your delay argument from the 
function?  If the compiler optimizes only within the boundaries of 
individual functions it won't be able to take advantage of the fact that the 
result is not used.  Strictly, this isn't correct either as the compiler 
could just assign zero and return.  But, it may not be smart enough to do 
that and you may get closer to your original assembly language.  Another way 
to go would be to write the function directly in assembly language.
