If a prog modify some part of the hardware I-cache it will run slower
because the hardware cache becomes invalid. Reentrant coding avoid this. 

Well also the getmain/freemain for reentrant code require some cylce. 

I don't know what is better in terms of CPU for a quick and dirty pgm.

Could you elaborate on that?
