Experimenting with RISC-V is one of those things I keep postponing. For those are more versed, is this really a general problem? I was under the impression that the real bottleneck is memory, and things like this would be fixed in real applications through out of order execution, and that it payed off having simpler instructions because compilers had more freedom to rearrange things.
