It's compact, but a 5 tick read is quite slow, especially since you aren't factoring the address decoding time. Conventional redstone would have higher throughput, i.e. 5 bytes per second if timed properly, though obviously it would be less space efficient.
This would be very useful for external storage, but don't use that for your registers for the love of god xD
If you're going for a fast (~10 tick) CPU, you need to be able to cache your SSD unless there's some command block wizardry that removes busing completely.
