Tony,

A deeper pipeline is indicative of a simpler architecture. The more pipe stages you have, the less work you are trying to do in a single cycle.

Long wires become necessary when too many functional units get included in a single-cycle path. A deeply pipelined design (such as Alpha) minimizes the amount of communication necessary during a single clock.
