Re: "Good post but I think you are jumping the gun a little here with this assumption. Fixing one speed path just uncovers the next one so this can be an ongoing project."

In my experience, after some easy early success, further speed path improvement becomes much more dubious. At some point, you reach the stage where maybe hundreds of individual paths are all similarly limiting. At that point,
no further optimization is likely. I think the P6 core has long ago reached that stage even with the .18um process. I agree whole heartily with Scumbria. The overwhelming majority of the speed increase of Coppemine is process related. And that process won't improve too much more.
