That only aplies to software implementations, in hardware you dont think in number of instructions but in number of gates/transistors, and the maping is not that simple as sometimes you can implement a function with 9 multiplications into the same number of gates that takes to implent 2 multiplications (this in an example of a real case). Memory also have cost in gates and power and you ned to evaluate If it's more eficient to expend the gates on memory or in procesing, the result of this evaluation is what determined the use of the Daala range coder as av1 have been designed with the hardware implementation in mind because it is critical for mobile phones.
