Doesn't dynamic binary translation cover these cases? It can't be that performance sensitive if it's written it VB5 and running on modern hardware.

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoIt might. But if you've got a VB5 program that you're still running, are you the kind of person who knows about binary translation? Or do you just say "I'd better keep buying x86 and running Windows forever"?
- Dylan16807 5y agoAt the low level you don't know what instruction sets are. At medium to high level you know that despite the instruction set, old non-intensive programs will work fine. I think the range where you're spooked by the instruction set is pretty narrow.
