   Does anyone here follow USENIX or Hackaday.com?   
      
   It came up on Hackaday that someone at USENIX this year hacked the x86   
   microcode instructions.  Their pdf report documents the microcode   
   instruction set.

   What I'm wondering is if more efficient code can be generated by C   
   compilers if they "understand" the x86 micro-code?
