You just suggested that decode is a bottleneck, and that decode should be done in software, in the same paragraph.

- orbifold 13y agoNot really, I suggested to decode once at the start of the application, or even at compile time for that matter in order to gain legacy support. A cpu has to decode the instruction stream no matter what, if the decoding is complicated by the fact that there is no close correspondence between the instructions and the hardware this is a potential bottleneck.
