I'm reminded of the old joke where the king has asked his gardener to
plant a row of some particular type of slow-growth tree:
"I want a 100m long row of trees, each 20m high."
"Sire, these trees will take at least 75 years to reach that height."
"Then I want them planted today !"
I'm also skeptical about a 30% slowdown caused by the loss of one
register. Obviously you should run some benchmarks before accepting
heresay. The performance penalty is probably only so apparent on a
non-superscalar ix86.
