The x86 protection model is notoriously complex, with four privilege rings, segmentation, paging, call gates, task switches, and virtual 8086 mode. What's interesting from a hardware perspective is how the 386 manages this complexity on a 275,000-transistor budget. The 386 employs a variety of techniques to implement protection: a dedicated PLA for protection checking, a hardware state machine for page table walks, segment and paging caches, and microcode for everything else.
The entire pipeline executes in a single call stack. No promises are created, no microtask queue scheduling occurs, and no GC pressure from short-lived async machinery. For CPU-bound workloads like parsing, compression, or transformation of in-memory data, this can be significantly faster than the equivalent Web streams code – which would force async boundaries even when every component is synchronous.
