The branch prediction wouldn't help you at all in avoiding the conditional jump evaluation. It will only help with pipeline stalls. You still have to execute the conditional jump. I haven't checked the assembly yet, but it could be that the compiler does the right thing and recognizes that there are no writes to isZipf. This could cause the check to be optimized out. |

Aw, you are right. I was confused by the compiler optimization. But even if the compiler does so, that if does not need to be there. |
