    And how will you interpret the results? Do you know to manually adjust for skid
    or will you assume the results 'correct'?

    I see such a feature only causing confusion; I told it to be precise, therefore
    this register op after the memory load really is the more expensive thing.

    People generally don't volunteer to think, you have to force them to -- even if
    that makes them complain.
