Not only new code. Old code in an high-level language would benefit, too, if the language compiler was updated and the code recompiled.

- fredoralive 1y agoNot everyone has that sort of luxury of access to source etc., people want their existing binaries to run faster. Also, if you need to recompile to get a performance boost, why not recompile for a cleaner modern architecture? You can always use an emulator for legacy code, if it isn't going to run fast on a modern CPU either way...
