The more you look at speculative execution and these drive issues, the more you see that we're giving up a lot of what computing "safe" for just performance.

> When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

In this case, performance as a measure of value.

gotta get dem sweet sweet benchmarks, to hell if we're persisting garbage
