It gets worse when::

  type foo( a, b ){
      ...
      return bar( a, b );
      ...
  }

Now you have to copy forward foo->bar and copy bar's return back
as foo's return. Whereas a flat register file has neither MOV.

My 66000 takes advantage of this by LDing the Ret Addr first, and then
reLDing the rest of the file, so by the time that is done, FETCH already
has instructions for DECODE>

When prologue and epilogue are 'structured' there are times when one
can elide the stores entirely as the memory location already has the 
bit pattern the <yet to be performed> ST will write. These happen
when an EXIT runs into a CALL->ENTER while EXIT is still moving data.

Slower RF, makes the pipeline at least 1/2 cycle longer.
