What? Compared to EPIC?

I'd be interested in what JR thinks but IMHO he'd be getting his jollies 
back on a CISC chip.

Didn't floating-point operations look up the answer in some table somewhere.

Won't we (and Rdb) be able to go back to generating machine code on the 
fly, forget about alignment faults, and be generally lazy again?
