  I wish that the RTX was cheaper - I am doing disk controller firmware,
and it would be nice to have a fast processor that did not eat up
the majority of its cycle time doing instruction operand fetches!
(Intel 80C196). 

  The problem is that things like the RTX don't make the cut due to
cost (of course, they can let the project be late by several months,
but hey, engineering time is free past 40 hours :^>). Maybe it is time 
for a letter writing campaign....
