 		 #139370 - Smaller, Faster
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Not Smallest, Fastest.
If you know the pitfalls you can avoid them.

in General C you declare loop counters "int"
For the 8052 you use "unsigned char" if you can, because it makes smaller faster code. ( Assuming NO INT PROMOTE is ON)

On a 16 bit+ CPU it would make the same code.
