Is this because of the out of order execution ? In one of the manuals it
states that the execution unit cannot accept another fmul after the
cycle it has accepted the first or am I missing something.
Where in the source can I find this (okay, I'm new at this :), in the
machine description I can only find a reference to the execution units. 

Greets,
Marc
