#140184 - Normalizing for the subtle differences
Responding to: ???'s previous message

however if you are going for 'fast' it would be ridiculous to start out with a `12 clocker

Well, yeah. Of course.

What I'm trying to get at here is a good way to evaluate entries in a "fastest subroutine" contest. From what you guys are saying, it sounds like counting processor cycles is the way to go, and further that it is necessary to specify a particular derivative so that the occasional variation among processors doesn't confuse the issue.

For the purposes of a contest, then, it seems that one 8051 variant is as good as the next, and we might as well use the one whose instruction times are given in Table 7 of "the bible"
