Chipguy: why didn’t you repeat the rest of that same message where you said:

>> In summary, getting a decent architectural performance improvement from going from a 4 way VLIW to an 8 way VLIW is a problem of first order difficulty even when your compiler has full access to program source code information, extensive global run time profiling information, and virtually unlimited compile time. But in the case of TMTA, CMS lacks all three… <<

Actually, the CMS does do extensive run-time profiling. In #4604, I concurred with your “first order difficulty” assessment and I noted your misleading comment about run-time profiling.
