No, it only optimizes in a clever way. ;-)  A typical example
where you'd probably not optimize that way when writing
assembler directly.

Sure.  It actually implements it as

        actcapt = ICR1;

        diffcapt = actcapt - lastcapt;
        lastcapt = actcapt;

        diffcapt -= 113;
        if (diffcapt >= 0 && diffcapt <= 24)
        { ... }

(or something like that -- I'm a bit in a hurry right now)
