#170733 - individual disa/ena and latencies
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Note that in my opinion it is not the enable/disable instruction execution time that slows a system but the fact that interrupt latencies are extended that slows a system.

Yes, but if the ena/disa execution itself requires atomicity guards (SFR page switching, read-modify-write of a non-bit-addressable SFR (a.k.a. more fun! ;-) )), the latencies might at the end of the day be longer than if only a single global ena/disa would be performed!
