I think that I'd have to be stupid not to agree with you....... I was just
wondering from an empirical prospective more than anything else, since I
code happily in assembly & wouldn't mind setting up a bochs VM to test the
resultant code inside of. The only reason I suggested it at all is because
I know how gcc (and all other non-assembler-only compilers) work at their
most basic level.., & thought that it would be an interesting (if not
dreadfully time consuming) venture in the realm of trying to eek more
performance out of the monitor/guest code, by extracting it down to a
hand-optimized assembler level. This, however; is not something that I will
start until there is something a little bit less dynamic out there to work
with!!!
