I was expecting an emulation hit to performance in addition to the rather  
pedestrian clock rate but the ammount of data is pretty small so I dont  
expect this to be critical.

I just wanted to sound out whether there was likely to be any other issues  
I had not anticipated. It seems not.

Many thanks for your help.
