These two I would imagine (I tend to forget about the TEST instruction).
And while they're of equal speed, TEST has more ports available if I
read that right. But yes, on SKL it doesn't matter much.

But if you go back in history (a lot) then you'll find BT being far more
expensive than TEST.

On the original Pentium for example TEST-m,r/i is 2 cycles, but BT-m,i
is 4-9 cycles.

But yes, going by the tables that's all hysterical raisins, modern cores
don't much care.
