Joe, Re: "I know a bit about loops, since I am a programmer, and it always made sense to make code inside th loops small, but most programs are written in high level languages." Then you should know that programmers have available to them multiple tools that can compile code and generate statistics about the number of branches, the size of the code in instructions, and even give you tips on how to optimize. Intel has one such tool called VTune. Tools like this mean that the programmers don't necessarily need intimate hardware knowledge to optimize their code. wanna_bmw
