I modified php_mt_seed from 2-interleaving variables x and y into 2
functions where one function compute x and second y and I was
surprised to see that the speed decreased almost 2 times.
I modified also 2-interleaving to version where instructions with y
are in reverse order and the version when i removed y and put second x
and in the first case the speed was the same but in second case again
decreased.
It must be only that processor can execute 2 instructions at the same
time (where they are independent) and according to wikipedia there is
something like pipeline
thanks
