muzosi, you are correct about SHL being more useful than ROL, but I'm sure both have the high latency problem on the P4. But a register-register add on a P4 is as good as a SHL and much, much faster. I suspect most code already uses register add rather than SHL, so I don't see P4 gaining anything from compiler or coder optimization.
