SCUMbria - Re: "Variable length instructions"

I have heard this can limit the speed of processors.

That's why all those hundreds of RISC CPUs run much faster than Intel's x86 CPUs.

SCUMbria - Re: "Too many addressing modes."

Don't programmers just love flexibility and options with which to do their memory operations?

Sort of like Addressing Diversity.

I'll bet you are real fond of diversity, aren't you?

You wouldn't object to a little diversity in memory addressing - would you?
