An instruction by any other name

From the article: "To address this issue, low-overhead compression techniques can be used."

I'm having trouble determining, based on the rest of the article, what makes the output of these compression techniques any different from instructions. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 21:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At a guess, flexibility and dynamicism? One is locked into the current instruction set, but one's compression techniques can change the encoding, make different tradeoffs, and do even more low-level JITing. --Gwern (contribs) 00:07 23 June 2010 (GMT)
