Whats the difference betwen using NOPs and another thing to simulate a nop?

Longer NOPs (using multiple byte sequences for one instruction) require less decoder bandwidth and thus less CPU resources to execute than the equivalent multiple single byte NOPs.

Test:
use16
nop
align 32
use32
nop
align 32
use64
nop
align 32
