A method and apparatus for branch reduction in a multithreaded packet processor is presented. An instruction is executed which includes testing of a branch flag. The branch flag references a configuration bit vector wherein each bit in the configuration bit vector corresponds to a respective feature. When said branch flag returns a first result processing is continues at an instruction located at a first location relative to a Program Counter (PC) and when the branch flag returns a second result processing is continued at a second location relative to said PC.
