#156606 - sometimes, depends
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My questions:
1. As a user how significant would it be to have these optimizations?

2. What are the really important optimizations for developers working with the 8051?


1) sometimes, if you make
a) a (high volume) product where you MUST use a uC that is a bit too slow non-oprimized
b) a (high volume) product where you MUST use a uC that has a bit too little memory non-oprimized

2) depends, either none or all

I would say that you should never oprimize (if needs arise use a larger/faster processor) if
a) your volume is less than, say, 1000 units.
b) your product is not price sensitive.
c) the cost of a sufficient processor is insignificantly more than the insufficient one.

Why not optimize? debugging can become a nightmare
