SubjectRe: Intel P6 vs P7 system call performance
The number of CPU clocks necessary to make the 'far' or
full-pointer call by pushing the segment register, the offset,
then issuing a 'lret' is 33 clocks on a Pentium II.

longcall clocks = 46
call clocks = 13
actual full-pointer call clocks = 33

Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
