Thanks Jim.

I still do not understand why there is more "branch miss-prediction penalty" if the CPU is more deeply pipelined. At what point it is no longer beneficial to have a deeper pipeline? Probably too complicated for a simple answer and depends on many factors. I am wondering if there is any merit to the post on JC's site.
