Don't the compressed instructions immediately put more pressure on the decoder than aarch64?

- brucehoult 5y agoTwo instruction lengths makes it slightly harder than one length, but we're not talking x86 15 lengths here. More compact code takes pressure off icache size and refill rates, and transfer rates from icache to fetch buffer. And ROM size in embedded, sich as on FPGA.
