Day 9 of Advent of Compiler Optimisations!

Loop with `i * i` inside? Surely the compiler replaces that expensive multiply with clever addition tricks — like manually tracking an accumulator. But no! The compiler keeps the multiply because it enables something more valuable. Why is "more expensive per iteration" sometimes faster overall? The answer lies in how modern CPUs actually execute code.
