*   The clocks in parentheses show times for short values--those with 40
    trailing zeros in their fraction because they were loaded from
    a short-real memory operand.
 
**  The clocks in parentheses show typical speeds.
 
*** If the register operand is a short value--having 40 trailing zeros in
    its fraction because it was loaded from a short-real memory operand--
    then the timing is (112-126)+EA on the 8087 or 112-126 on the 80287.
