Except that the PPC ABI defines more preserved registers (r13..r31) assuming pressure is on P registers only, and albeit I don't know how and where the hardware is preserving them, it does obviosly not cause level 2 cache misses. Refetching from stack is of course cheaper in hardware too. > JEff leo
