 		 #157704 - Per's idea makes more sense
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Alan said:
8 machine cycles if it is a 1 and 7 cycles if it is 2 thru 6?

So why not take out the NOP and make it 7 cycles for all cases?

But actually, I like Per's idea a lot better, because it gets you out of the nasty business of counting cycles, and eliminates the very likely possibility that some little change six months from now will kill the whole thing. Your approach is kind of fragile that way.
