>   The 900 Mhz UltraSparc III-CU and later model processors has a
>   Branch prediction logic that enables the processor to prefetch
>   the right instructions after a branch and prevent Cache-miss main
>   memory instruction fetches.
>   This circutry gets enabled with the "xtarget=ultra3"  or "xtarget=ultra3i"
>   ( for the UltraSparc III-i processor )  compiler directives.
>   Then the performance differance is certainly  30%. Because you avoid a
>   large number of the execution pipeline stall's that you have otherwise.
