A lot of calculations and informed guesses and words like "could" "would" "should" but no benchmarks. Disappointing. With things like these, especially once you start to involve not-really-deterministic things like cache, you need to do integration testing of performance through benchmarks, not back-of-the-napkin calculations of how many instructions you are executing. > Mario "could" walk in a different direction than he is pointing in But did he? Was that a real, noticable problem or just theoretical?
