There's no such thing as "super" admin, maybe HuB should've researched a lot more into Windows (security) & stuff!the super admin mode or not I'm not sure.

They not, the gains on the admin account have been misinterpreted, I think @Solaris17 mentioned this in a recent post, and his comment wasnt a mile off a suggestion I made as well. This is also why when HUB tested the Windows build his results were different to when he tested the admin account.From a technical standpoint: why would branch prediction be different for root and users?
I am asking both "how" and "why".

There's a more fundamental question to be asked: how is it possible to write code that undermines (to an extent) the operation of branch predictors?From a technical standpoint: why would branch prediction be different for root and users?
I am asking both "how" and "why".
Thanks, although this goes over my head (by far). So kernel code can clear branch prediction buffers, with a surprisingly high penalty? Could that reduce the performance with normal user accounts more than with admin accounts? Because of more frequent context switching?This is not related to the recent announcement, but anyone interested can see how branch predictors are not only primarily silicon tools, they only operate at the kernel level (outside of user space)

I'm not saying there aren't valid explanations for that, maybe related to security.
