Right but I (perhaps wrongly...) assume they used a similar approach with Denver 2, which alas has not been as much described as Denver. What has been...

Consecutive runs shouldn't change anything unless the JIT maintains a DB of hot spots (as far as I know only FX!32 did that). All optimizations are done...
