not really: the compilers made an assumption that would
have been reasonable if the world had not bizarrely plumped
for an architecture full of anomalies, that's hard to get to go fast,
that doesn't extend well to 16 bits let alone 32 or 64
and ... most to the point, has few registers and those are not general purpose.
