In the worst case, as fast. Some cpu's use an extra clock cycle through
the ALU to calculate the effective address (Pentium 1 if I recall well).
RISC86 cpus (k6..opteron) use their load/store unit to calculate this,
so it might speed up because one extra ALU is free, or slow down because
the load/store unit is occupied by another instruction.
