Ew. I suggest calling it HL4. Compression is always a good thing!
<<On IA32 systems, how the code is aligned is also a factor. To compare
accurately, you'd really need the separate code fragments to be in
their own dedicated segments. This is not the way that un*x or Win32
applications are usually coded.
Not being up on the latest HLL compilers, I would still suspect that some
compiler directives/options would be available to handle alignment properly
without much headache, especially if it is as important as you suggest.>>
I have the teensiest fraction of knowledge about C (I'm trying to learn it
now), but I know a little about compiling C programs. With DJGPP, you can
enable cool options like -malign-double which can really speed up some
programs. Is this the "alignment" that you're speaking of?
