But, that is really treating DAZ/FTZ like a rounding-mode, not underflow. It would be a heavy hammer to enforce all the side-effect concerns when the user really only cares about DAZ/FTZ. In other words, we'll be losing significant performance in an attempt to gain significant performance.


Now that I've said that, I suppose someone could argue that DAZ/FTZ *is* a side-effect. :D
