On page 55 of "Transputer Technical Notes", INMOS Limited, 1989, it is
stated that using a crossbar connection "... introduces a 1.6 to 2 bit
time delay on the signal."  Is this per byte? Are there results of
testing to compare hardwired connections with C004-implemented connections?
Any info and pointers to info are appreciated.  Thanks.
