What is the tradeoff between multiplication and addition?

Just a few years ago, mults were slower, but I think now (Intel i9) mult, add and fma are the same.

I think multiplications are faster to do in computer land than adds? I too am curious.

		Also could use analysis of dependencies to see what can happen in parallel. Or for that matter, some real benchmarks.
