First, replacing of instructions

move. #0,{...}	clr. {...}
move. #-1,{...}	st. {...}
lea variable(PC),-(a7)	pea variable(PC)
cmp. #0,{...}	tst. {...}
move. #{Byte number},{...}	moveq. #{Byte number},{...}

Another optimizing tip is to contain a lot of variables in registers for faster access, use long operations (they are faster).
Copying of a memory area to another area, you should use long moves and the rest use word and byte moves
When you program a game for example, use a very fast sprite routine (The spriteroutine from Jimmy Mardell for example)
Find the most timeintensive parts in your program and and optimize them, or send the source to Assembly-92 list and they could probably help you.

Sorry, but this section will be advanced
