Re: Stripping nops from an executable

If you still have an IBM PC that runs at 4.77Mhz, then this might produce a
speed improvement. If the NOPs are not being executed or loaded into memory
on that processor, then there will be no increase in speed. In those days
the speed of a program could be computed by counting the number of bytes in
the code stream.
