Following lukewarm on the heels of an article a few weeks ago, where (I paraphrase due to having filed the relevant copy in the recycling bin) Victoria Beckham made a well-meaning remark that the other Spice Girls might want to lose a few pounds, we now have a new incidence of La Beckham's scintillating and entirely well-meaning humour.

Of course, this whole method of measuring architextural merit is pretty suspect. What happens if one of the compilers is agressive and starts unrolling loops? Bigger code, surely; but often faster too. (for example, does the MIPS compiler unroll daxpy? some of svd? others?)

She was a home-wrecker, taking her pleasure adulterously.

So how much longer are we gonna do this dance?
