Branch prediction matters. Why? About a quarter of instructions are branches, and modern CPUs nail an accuracyabove 90%. Yet, those often-pesky branches can choke CPUs, stalling instruction flow. So, take a wrench to yourif-else logic. Trim indirect branches whenever you can—your CPU will thank you...
