I don't think we could remove this bit. My understanding of these 
algorithms are to find the 1st recently used path and the 2nd, assigning 
to active_path and retran_path respectively. If we remove the 
looking-for-second block, how are we suppose to find the 2nd?
I think we can remove the continue and use else-if in the 
2nd-assignment-block.
