The weak model is ideal for me. I know how to program for itAnd the fact that this model is so hard to use that few others know
how to program for it make it ideal for you.
and it's more efficientThat depends on the hardware.
Yes, the Alpha 21164 with its imprecise exceptions was "more
efficient" than other hardware for a while, then the Pentium Pro came
along and gave us precise exceptions and more efficiency. And
eventually the Alpha people learned the trick, too, and 21264 provided
precise exceptions (although they did not admit this) and more
efficieny.
