Bill Fairchild and I almost always agree viscerally, and we usually
agree about the details too.

This time we disagree.  What I tried to say in an earlier post is that
a single global answer to the question

What is "the fastest way to zero a register"?

is no longer available.  In fact this and all such questions are
delusory.  Any answer must be local and contextual.  Pipelining has
made it so.
