The whole article looks like a misunderstanding to me. The author writes about a trade-off between memory and processor, although in his example both memory (on disk and in RAM) and processor are wasted (executing all IF instructions in turn). It is also strange that the author is trying to generate code in assembly language, which he does not know very well, because there is a DIV/IDIV instruction.
