and tune code that you have written yourself. What's really important is
that you come away from this chapter understanding that on the 8088:
- The 8-bit bus cycle-eater causes each access to a word-sized operand
* The 8-bit bus cycle-eater causes each access to a word-sized operand
to be 4 cycles longer than an equivalent access to a byte-sized
operand.
- The prefetch queue cycle-eater can cause instruction execution times
* The prefetch queue cycle-eater can cause instruction execution times
to be as much as four times longer than the officially documented
cycle times.
- The DRAM refresh cycle-eater slows most PC code, with performance
* The DRAM refresh cycle-eater slows most PC code, with performance
reductions ranging as high as 8.33 percent.

* The display adapter cycle-eater typically doubles and can more than
triple the length of the standard 4-cycle access to display memory,
with intensive display memory access suffering most.
