   Given this code:   
      
      // if (lift_ptr^._spl   < _spl) or   
      //   ((lift_ptr^._spl   = _spl) and   
      //    (lift_ptr^.dtv.km > km)) then   
      
      mov     eax, [ebx + offset lift_list._spl]   
      cmp     eax, edx   
      jl      @04   
      jne     @05   
      
      mov     eax, [ebx + offset lift_list.dtv.km]   
      cmp     eax, ecx   
      jle     @05   
      
   @04:   
      // _spl:= lift_ptr^._spl;   
      // km  := lift_ptr^.dtv.km;   
      // lptr:= lift_ptr;   
      
      mov     edx, [ebx + offset lift_list._spl]   
      mov     ecx, [ebx + offset lift_list.dtv.km]   
      mov     edi, ebx   
      
   @05:   
      
   And the fact that the three jumps will be pretty well predicted, I know my data   
   (yes, that data again), how much would I save by adding CMOVxx'es before the   
   "jl" and "jle" instructions, to eliminate the reading of the already cached   
   entries again in @04?   
      
   My guess is not a great deal?   
      
   Thanks,   
      
   Robert   
      
   PS:  And yes, upon request I could add some counters to actually tally the   
   taken/not taken (after taken/not taken?) counts.
