The 4-register load uses 2 issue cycles, only one of which can
dual-issue.  2-register load uses only one cycle and can dual-issue
with either the preceding or following instruction.  Splitting the
loads is often faster in situations like this with good opportunities
for dual-issue.  I didn't benchmark this particular case though.
