I'm not sure who you're quoting, but I never even used the word "architecture". I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

You try to explain CPU architecture to me, then claim you don't know what CPU architecture is? OK, maybe you don't win, in any case I'll stop here.

"Architectural reasons" is nonsense. "Architecture" isn't a set of reasons justifying anything, rather it's the other way around: we design architecture for specific reasons. Your claims that we do things for "architectural reasons" don't have any clear meaning. I said the actual reasons are performance. I don't think I'm the one being unclear.
