i really like the superset CFG idea, but the following are noteworthy for anybody planning to read the article:

- ~4.75x runtime speed increase (significantly slower than box64, faster than QEMU), 7x executed instruction count increase, 50x binary size increase

- emulates x86 abi until it calls out to external

- has to emulate a large part of x86 cpu state like EFLAGS, compute complex movs individually, etc

- only supports single-thread binaries

- no exception handling/unwinding

- doesnt support the full ISA
