For an instruction only left in for backwards compatibility, I think the microcode is quite nicely optimized. Sure, it could be faster, but it beat two more naive implementations despite originating from the 386 days. I do wonder, though, if there could still be some hidden gems hidden deep in the legacy instructions that compilers could make use of for some very peculiar algorithms. |
