Most stuff is still running under instruction sets designed in an era
when cache effects weren't so important.  With conditional moves, maybe
quicksort isn't so bad.  You'd do the conditional swap and pointer
increments with conditional moves, then compare the two pointers which
will usually be unequal.  There would be a misprediction only when the
pointers actually cross.
