XOR appears a lot in any code touching encryption.

PS. What is static vs dynamic count?

Static count - how many times an instruction appears in a binary (or assembly source).

Dynamic count - how many times an opcode gets executed.

I. e. an instruction that doesn't appear often in code, but comes up in some hot loops (like encryption) would have low static and high dynamic.
