Microkernels are better

I believe that power (or powerpc) claims to be a performance optimized risc architecture (source would be Orielly publishing High Performance Computing, second edition). As I understand it that means that they say that they are risc based but will include additional instructions if it seems like they could improve the performance of software written for the architecture. I do appreciate that you have given backing to my initial statements and would like to thank you for doing so.
