But we were talking about how it looked, now how fast it downloaded and
performed.
The downloading had better be pretty friggin' intelligent given 5K
instruction
memory sizes starting out....I still have several inoperable lesions in my
brain
from all-nighter debugging of heavily-overlaid FORTRAN code back in
the late 70s. (YES, I'm that old, and NO, I don't want to talk about it.)
JIT compilation in a handset?! Of a crude sort, I suppose...anybody
got any inklings on this one?
