Yes. Just out of curiosity, I used a profiler on the stm8 port, since I
wondered, if there would be a noticeable difference to what I saw a few
years ago in the z80 port. And it turned out that quite some time was
spent in unexpected places. So I fixed all the low-hanging fruit. I
don't think there's a lot more to be saved in the stm8-specific code
now. Maybe the hc08 and s08 ports have some similar issues left.
There is one more unexpected place where time is spent (affecting all
ports); I'll open a feature request for fixing that one.
