Hmm, I think I have some nice King salmon in the freezer. I'll get
Bridget to slap me with it before we bake it with the fresh lemons &
oranges out of the garden :-)

The original reason I asked was because I'm finally getting to check
some of the proposed vm changes stacked up on sqfixes; the crosby cache
stuff etc. Obviously it's simplest if I can try with all latest stable
code. I've built & tried on Acorn and to be honest it makesno difference
forth old St-80 Green Book benchmarks. I know Scott claimed improvements
in some macro benchmarks so I'll have to dig them out to try. I suspect
that the puny cache on the strongarm is simply overwhelmed and hiding
any effects of the changes. I really wish TI had carried through with
their threat to make wafers with hundreds of SAs and many gigs of ram
all integrated into a single unit....
