This would possibly help the scheduler       to reorder instructions such that the pipelines/functional units are       maximally exploited but on the other hand no particular path is favored/       neglected too heavily.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
