Original core Athlon (step 2 and earlier)

nothing: 11 cycles
locked add: 22 cycles
cpuid: 67 cycles

generic Athlon is

nothing: 11 cycles
locked add: 11 cycles
cpuid: 64 cycles

I don't currently have a palomino core to test

Wait for AMD to publish graphs of CPUid performance for PIV versus Athlon 8)
