Thanks.
The other/main reason is playing with FreeAXP, which is an EV6 implementation,
and where I'm desperate to squeeze out any bits of performance. Compiling C takes 
about 20x more than on my XP1000 (didn't really measure yet). Just planing for 
a future when the hardware will eventually die...
