Re: Stealing a Great Idea from the 6600

This is a late reply, but optimal static ordering for N-wide may be
very non-optimal for N-1 (or N-2, etc.).  As an example, assume a perfectly

AFAICT Terje was talking about scheduling for OoO CPUs, and wasn't
talking about the possible worst case situations, but about how things
usually turn out in practice.

For statically-scheduled or in-order CPUs, it can be indeed more
difficult to generate code that will run (almost) optimally on a variety
of CPUs.
