I dimly remember special optimizations for pushes and pops in CPUs
more recent than the Pentium (too dim to remember whether that was
done by Intel or by AMD).  But certainly, if the compiler is not
totally naive, the data stack pointer updates should not be that
frequent (and should cost almost nothing, as there is probably some
ALU around that would otherwise go unused).
