George, perhaps it would be a Good Idea in v24 to check for Athlon or P4 CPU; if the CPU is something else (tm), print a warning that performance may be impaired, point out where to download v23.x and ask for confirmation to continue running.
I wonder if the time has come to chop the core logic up into several CPU specific DLLs, and load the appropriate one for the hosting hardware ? This would prevent excessive memory footprints (although, actually, Windows at least only loads 4K code pages which are actually executed, so having it all statically linked into one large .EXE isn't as much of a penalty as one might think, especially if the major sections are forced to 4K boundries).
