Mainly just curious.  It seems to me that with things like this the 
trade-off point could be different for different architectures, and I 
wondered if there was one in particular you used to decide what was a 
worthwhile and what wasn't.

I'm also currently beating my head against a wall trying to figure out why 
our HAL benchmarks are running slower now than they were a few months ago.  
It could be any number of things, but currently I suspect that I just 
compiled the Mercury code and/or libraries with a different set of flags 
then than I have now (e.g. turned some optimisations that I didn't think I 
had or something).

Unfortunately, while I have the Mercury code generated by HAL from back 
then, I don't have the C code that Mercury generated (we used a couple of 
different grades, with "cleans" in between the builds), so I'll probably 
never find out just what is different.  Oh well.
