Tony,

As you probably remember, I used to be a big Willy fan. Recent information has considerably dampened my enthusiasm however.

if executing instructions faster isn't important in a CPU, what is?

Executing instructions is all that a CPU does. Arithmetic computation is only a small part of instruction execution, however. Like freeway travel, performance is determined by the processor bottleneck, not the fastest stretch.
