Good question. This is why I asked that loop question earlier today. But I'm 
following this fun thread about the cache, fetch/modify by different CPs and 
execution prediction. Just curious of course.

>Optimisation of a few is not worth the effort these days.

After my question, someone posted me off-line that if the machine only execute 
ONE instruction PER second, then only, then this optimisation work is worth the 
trouble.
