The problem isn't latency, it is the fear of latency. As long as the pipe is kept full, latency is irrelevant. This concept is not intuitive, and evades most architects and other decision makers. Which processors score highest on benchmarks? The ones with the deep pipelines of course! (Alpha, Athlon, PIII)

Scumbria,

As you finish a job, would not latency occur as the pipeline becomes less full?
