hiya,
	I've got a quick request for information about the execution speeds
of various instructions on the saturn processor.

Which of the following two pieces of code will run more quickly?
	clr.a	c
	move.p2	10, c
or
	move.p5	10, c

The first is shorter by one nibble than the second.

Also what happens if we change the field in the first code section to .p1
or .p3 ??


I'm asking mostly out of interests sake, and I could write a program to
determine the result.  I was wondering if anybody out there has some timing
details for the chip.
