I guess mostly compiler, i.e. Alex. Which is why it is difficult to convince
him ....

Yes, that was an unfortunate accident that that day, the only CM2's I could
get to were running 8 MHz. (Some engineer changes the clock during maintenance
then doesn't change it back. Who cares, except people running benchmarks.)

CM200 (8K 10 MHz repeat count 1000 N=40000)
