It's a strange thing to optimise... I seem to do an integer divide so infrequently, that I can't imagine a measurable improvement in most code I've ever written if it were substantially faster. I feel like I stopped doing frequent integer divides right about the same time computers got FPU's...

Integral division is the strongest arithmetic operation.

I have a friend who knows some M1 internals. He said it's really Star
Trek stuff.

This will seriously challenge other CPU producers.

What perspectives do we have to run the compiler on M1 and produce M1 code?
