Research 140: stage 1's instruction counts: the workloads' modules byte for byte the same, the executor alone moved matmul +0.43% and BFS -0.34% (knapsack, roots, join within 0.03%; the bar of 0.1% missed, mixed signs: four cases more in step), the bank's queries -0.22% to 0.00% (bar 1%); the four cases out of line in a noinline function (b23) cost 6-15% of the executor's instructions (a call taking frame from step: the register cliff) and were taken back; CHECKPOINT's direction row through 027's stage 1
