Really? It's definitely not the idea behind FETCH 1024. Using the same window 4 times for FETCH 64 is the idea though, I agree. > How about allowing the readahead window to be resized for the > non-decorated case if the runtime encounters FETCH N and N is > greater than the previous window? To be resized by what? IMO a FETCH N should always be a FETCH N, no matter what, i.e. if the readahead window is larger, use it, but even if it's smaller we should still fetch N at the same time.
