about 1.5x faster than OoO.  But keep in mind that memory interactions with
OoO are much different than in in-order mode because of out-of-order issues
and issues from wrong path.  It always depends on the type of benchmark but
still its an important factor to consider behavior of caches, specially L1
caches.
