The idea is that you have a huge case statement ( the one I tried was 10000 cases long ) and you randomly branch in there for 10 million iterations. That's a clever idea. I was trying to come up with a way to come up with a huge chunk of code that would not fit in trace cache, and something this simple didn't occur to me. Joe

Constantine, if you read my response to Jozeph, you will see why I think Kap's program will prove nothing about the speed of the decoders. There are simply too many variables that are effected if the trace cache gets a 100% miss rate. Maybe Kap has figured out something more than I have, but go ahead and post your results. I'm sure he'll do his book burning Indian dance (reference from Shawshank Redemption) no matter what the consequences of the results are. wbmw
