  2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of supplying the addresses of global variables as offsets relative to the %rip instruction pointer register?
  3. One of the big issues affecting the performance of modern computers is the speed of performing function calls and returns. Why is function call speed important? In which circumstances is the x64 architecture able to perform fast function calls and returns? Are there aspects of the x64 architecture that seem likely to slow down function calling?
