i want a more simple world. i'm fine with pipelining, i'm fine with trying to eke out every bit of computation leading up to a branch. but i like what mips did of just shrugging and making it the compiler's problem, and if the compiler couldn't find anything to put there, then, well, there are worse things in the world than losing a few cycles around a branch. have some more chocolate chip cookies and stop worrying.
