They said the new Pentium (a.k.a 586) instructions would actually make
virtual 8086 code 20% slower, thus needing a recompilation.
286-486 wasn't worth it to recompile. But now we're seeing something
different though. Maybe it'll make standards for IBM programming
more portable...

Maybe its because I haven't taken Software Engineering yet.

Seemingly time is that valuable for everybody.
