And the real point for any modern microprocessor is that it's very difficult for human programmers to properly optimize the instruction streams when writing in assembly.
You are absolutely, positively correct, especially when looking at
something like the Itanium. The Alpha and PA-RISC really needed the
scheduler pass. The scheduler would reorder the instruction stream to
prevent stalls and optimize the instruction streams.
