Remind me again how you're planning on pulling this off? Game logic is
rarely deterministic... there's no practical way for the compiler to
calculate in advance exactly how long a given chunk of code will take to
execute. How would your compiler deal with something as simple as...
FOR I = 1 TO N
yadda yadda
NEXT I
...where N could be *anything*?
