[fpc-devel] Interesting short article about optimisation

[J. Gareth Moreton]

I just stumbled across this article about micro-architecture-specific 
optimisations in ARM: 
https://www.phoronix.com/news/ARM64-Linux-No-Uarch-Opts

They briefly mention x86_64, and I agree it's good to avoid 
micro-architecture-specific optimisations and now it makes me wonder 
where the line is drawn, like the recent introduction of the optimizer 
hint regarding LEA instructions being slow on some middle-aged CPUs.
