The only difference between SR & SLR is how they set the condition code.
If that could produce a measurable difference in a trillion executions, I'd
love to see it.
However, the newer z models have a whole family of new

only by *not* setting CC. Changing CC can be a pipeline
bottleneck.
The reason for setting the CC is to enable the status of the result
to be tested [with a BC instruction].
